Celebrate Earth Day with us as we welcome the arrival of Spring by learning about our native wildflowers.

As the forest and meadows awaken from winter, we’ll explore the trails in search of delicate spring ephemerals like trillium, bloodroot, and trout lilies. Learn about the fascinating life cycles of these fleeting blooms, their role in the ecosystem, and the pollinators that rely on them.

This leisurely walk is perfect for nature lovers of all ages. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water, a field guide (if you have one), and your curiosity! The terrain is uneven and the route is approximately half a mile.

Parks are for everyone. If you have accessibility questions or concerns, please call 540-862-8114 or email Hannah.Johnson@dcr.virginia.gov.
