Spring is a glorious season along the Potomac River! Join retired Botanist/Forest Ecologist, Carole Bergmann, at the “Mouth of the Monocacy” to experience the riverine/floodplain habitat in April. We will search for/learn about whatever spring ephemerals, shrubs or trees are unfolding into leaf or flower. Additionally, there is an excellent diversity of impressively large trees along the towpath to see/learn about near the Monocacy. While plant life is the focus, we will be attuned to all of the rich bird and amphibian life as well. Expect to walk 1.5 to 2 miles, either on the towpath or on natural surface paths. Bring water and a snack. There are porta-johns at the site. REGISTER.
