Description: Join Vegetation Ecologist, Kerry Wixted, for a fun ramble through the woods west of Cosca Lake at Louise F. Cosca Regional Park! This hike is a plant blitz—part exploration, part science—where we’ll slow down, look closely, and document the plants that call this area home. Several rare species have already been discovered nearby, and with sharp eyes and a little luck, we might uncover more hidden botanical gems. We’ll be using iNaturalist to record our finds, contributing valuable data toward a comprehensive plant list for the park. Whether you’re a seasoned plant nerd or just plant-curious, come help us turn a hike into a discovery mission!
Kerry Wixted is the vegetation ecologist with the Park Planning and Environmental Stewardship Division, M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County.
