Spring Wildflower Hike

This event will be substituted for the “Nichol Township Park” hike, which will instead be offered in the winter on January 20, 2022.  These locations are only 5 minutes drive apart.  Let’s take advantage of the current opportunity to see and identify glorious spring plants and flowers!  We will meet at the leader’s culdesac and all activities will be outside.  (Sorry, no restrooms or Potluck this time.)  We’ll also visit the Tristate Marker during our hike loop.  There trails are in the woods and there are a couple of steep hills, but no water crossings.

Participants will be emailed a color list of plants that we plan to see!  You may choose to download it to your mobile device or print it, but do not depend on internet connection in the hollow.

Each hike will be limited to 15 people and you must RSVP the leader via email to join no earlier than 6 days before the hike. Other respondents beyond the first 15 will be added to a second hike and notified if there has been a cancellation in the first hike.  The second hike covering the same route (but in reverse) will commence at 10:30 composed of those waitlisted from the first hike.  Please arrive about 15 minutes before your departure time.  Anyone needing to cancel from either hike should contact the Leader by 8:00 AM on the day of the hike, who may then contact others waitlisted who didn’t get into either hike.

Also per Covid-19 rules: stay 6 feet apart if possible, and wear a face mask when closer.  You must have your face mask readily available on your person while on the hike.  Also, please bring your own pen to sign in.  Carpooling and shuttles to hike locations are now permitted as long as involved participants are fully vaccinated and two weeks past their final inoculation.  The wearing of masks with some windows open for ventilation are recommended as extra precautions.
