During April, spring wildflowers in the Washington area are abundant and dazzling! On this field class, based in the just-outside-the Beltway Carderock Recreation Area, we’ll explore several short trails between the C&O Canal and the Potomac River. We’ll work on developing the observational skills which are key to learning to recognize and ID wildflowers. As we’re learning the names and niches of species such as Virginia bluebells, dutchman’s breeches, toad trillium, and more, we’ll take time to just enjoy their beauty. Expect some rocky, uneven, and muddy terrain on the natural surface trails we’ll use. REGISTER
