Spring ephemerals sprout, grow, bloom, and die before the forest canopy leafs out, in a strategy to take advantage of the sunlight that reaches the early spring forest floor. This hike will explore Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve, renowned for the 70 species of spring wildflower it protects. Naturalist Keith Williams will lead us through the preserve, pointing out the numerous native ephemeral wildflowers and the critical role they play in this ecosystem along the way.
