Our Restoration Manager and tree ID instructor leads this early autumn plant hike to visit the bottomland habitats of Turkey Run Park, situated along the Potomac River and accessed off the GW Parkway near McLean, VA. All things green—or sporting early fall color—will be the hike’s focus: trees and shrubs, wildflowers, and ferns. Be prepared for a steep hike down (and back up again, of course!) mostly on constructed stairs to reach the bottomland forest—where there may be muddy conditions underfoot on natural surface trails. There will also be a couple of stream crossings to traverse on this roughly 1.5 mile hike. REGISTER
