As summer winds down and the growing season comes to an end, join a retired forest ecologist/naturalist for an exploration of the floodplain plant communities along the Potomac River at Monocacy Aqueduct (southern Frederick County) and the close-by Dickerson Conservation Park (Montgomery County). You’ll walk amongst towering Cottonwoods, Sycamores, Black Walnuts and more as the ripening and spreading of fruits and seeds signal that fall is on the way. Explorations will be conducted on the flat Towpath, as well as on natural surface trails in the possibly muddy and slippery bottomlands.
