Summer Wildflower Walk #2

About this event

The parking area is located at the north end of the park off NY Route 236 (~1/4+ mile south of its intersection with NY Route 146).  We’ll meet in the open-air picnic pavilion along the trail immediately across from the parking area.  We will stroll along the north loop of the nature trail (~0.4 mile round trip).  Trail surface is crushed stone – please wear proper footwear if you intend to step off the trail to view plants up close.

Among others, we may encounter these native blooming beauties during our outing:  Flat-topped Aster (Doellingeria umbellata var. umbellata), Hog Peanut (Amphicarpa bracteata), Purple-leaved Willow Herb (Epilobium coloratum), Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima), and Wrinkle-leaved Goldenrod (Solidago rugosa var. rugosa).
