Announcement:

Summer Wildflower Walk
LED BY MASTER NATURALIST
ELLEN HRABOVSKY,

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2008,

AT 9:00 A.M., AT THE WEST VIRGINIA BOTANIC GARDEN.

Ellen will explain to us how to recognize the native and exotic trees, shrubs, and ground covers growing in the garden by means of leaf scars, bud scales, bark characteristics and many other indicators left behind after these plants have lost their leaves during autumn. Learn with us this little known lore of the old growth forest at the West Virginia Botanic Garden! Bring magnifying glasses if you have 'em, otherwise we'll share ours!
All ages are welcome.
Attendees should wear hiking footwear, preferably waterproof.
The WVBG is located on Tyrone Road between Snake Hill Road and Route 7.
The entrance gate will be open to allow parking at the lower parking lot.
Due to the popularity of this walk in the past, you are encouraged to be early or at least prompt.
