Events

For members and "Plus Ones!"

Members--Please RSVP "Yes" to [email protected] by Wednesday, April 3 if you plan to attend, and indicate if you are bringing "Plus Ones." The chapter will email directions for meeting at the trailhead to those who have RSVPd. 

Event Description: 
    Join our early spring plant walk for chapter members and "plus one" guests, led by Environmental Scientist Joey Thompson. On this walk, we will look for various spring ephemerals, ferns, and other native plants--we may even find some black cohosh. Binoculars and plant identification apps (like the Flora of Virginia App or iNaturalist) are not required, but you are encouraged to bring and use them, as they may add to your enjoyment. Please note that some parts of the trail may be swampy/muddy! It’s best to wear boots, hiking shoes, or other sturdy footwear.  We plan to go forward with the walk rain or shine, barring severe weather. We will gather beginning at 9:45 a.m. to start the walk promptly at 10:00. Carpooling with your "Plus Ones" will help make the most of parking by the trailhead.
