SUMMARY:Wildflower Walks - Lower Dungeness
DESCRIPTION:In this series\, you will learn how to identify native plants and observe how plant communities change throughout the season. Witness the transformation from early bloomers to late bloomers\, to setting seeds. Feel free to sign-up for a walk each month or attend only one! In April and May\, the walks focus on greeting the early spring flowers at low elevations as they begin to awake after winter. The last three sessions in June\, July\, and August are explorations of higher elevations in the Deer Park area. Hikes will be led by wildflower expert and citizen of the year John Bridge\, and Montana Napier\, the Education Manager at the River Center. These classes are full day experiences. Bring layers\, water\, a lunch\, and come prepared to carpool to Deer Park in Olympic National Park. You will learn how to identify different species\, look closely into nature\, and enjoy the sounds\, sights\, and smells of our big\, beautiful backyard. Please note these are intermediate level hikes. While there is not much elevation gain\, the trails can be narrow\, footing can be challenging in some locations\, and there are a few small obstacles (fallen logs\, branches\, roots\, etc.) Easier walks are offered in April\, May\, and June.
