SUMMARY:Spring Ephemeral Wildflowers Hike at Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Explore Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve\, a world-renowned site for spring ephemeral wildflowers\, on this interpretive hike.\n\n\nShenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve is a world-renowned site for spring ephemeral wildflowers. The preserve contains 70 species of wildflower\, many of which bloom in early spring before the forest canopy leafs out as part of their strategy to capitalize on sunlight availability. They do all of their growing and reproduction during the time when sunlight reaches the forest floor. This hike will explore the incredible beauty of Shenks Ferry. Participants will learn to identify common spring ephemeral wildflowers and explore their fascinating ecology. \nWhat to Expect and How to Prepare: This will be a 2-mile out-and-back hike on a gravel and dirt trail. The trail surface is mostly smooth\, but there are a few short rocky sections and slight elevation changes. This event is for ages 8 and up (participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult). There is a port-a-john available on site. Hikers should dress for the weather\, wear comfortable shoes and bring drinking water. \nWhere to Meet: At the Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve trail kiosk\, just past the yellow gate off the parking area. \nRefund Policy: These events usually sell out. If you are unable to attend this event after purchasing a ticket\, please let us know so we can open a spot to someone on the waitlist. Refund requests must be made at least 48 hours before the event. \nAnimal Policy: Service animals active or in training are welcome. Please leave all pets at home. \nCancellation Policy: This event will be held rain or shine\, with cancellation for severe weather made at the time of the event. If the Conservancy reschedules the event\, attendees will be emailed\, and tickets will be automatically moved to the new date. If the Conservancy cancels the event\, attendees will be notified via email when possible and refunded. \nPhoto Credit: Michelle Johnsen \n\n\nThank you to our generous sponsor Brookhills Investment Group for making educational programming about Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve and the native plants it protects possible.\n\n\n\nThank you to our generous annual sponsors for making this event possible!
