River Flood Plain Explorations
Ted Watt, Hitchcock Center Naturalist
Saturdays, August 5 &amp; August 26, 9am-noon
One of our most significant natural habitats here in the Valley is our flood plain forests.  We’ll visit 3 different flood plain forests, a different location each date, looking at the plants and exploring the natural history.  We’ll identify a number of species and compare the plant communities at the 3 sites.  We’ll explore mature forests with shrubby and diverse herbaceous understory.  There will be poison ivy, mosquitoes, and probably ticks at all sites!  Bring a hand lens and be ready to take notes.  Walks available separately.  Directions to sites provided upon registration. Members $20 per walk /Non-members  $30 per walk Register here
