About the Outing: Join Jeff for a Plant ID & Natural History walk at Bellevue Pond as you learn to identify the plants that shape our local ecosystem. From wildflowers and towering trees to shrubs tucked along the trails, you'll discover the clues nature provides—from branching patterns and leaves to flowers, fruits, galls, and other distinctive features. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced nature enthusiast, you'll leave with practical plant identification skills and a deeper appreciation for the world growing all around us.
