Wildflower Walk: Tickseed & Ironweed

Our lower meadows are blooming with yellow tickseed and purple ironweed! Take a guided hike with a naturalist to see the beautiful blooms.

It's our favorite time of year - our lower meadow is bursting with color with the yellow tickseed sunflower (Bidens aristosa) and purple giant ironweed (Vernonia gigantea) reaching their peak bloom. Come enjoy the view on this guided hike with one of our naturalists.

We will be offering these guided hikes at 9am and 2pm on Saturdays from August 26th to September 30th. We will meet at our Welcome Center. Please bring water, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, and dress for the weather.

Please read and sign the general liability waiver before attending. Each adult attendee must sign this waiver to participate. Parents/legal guardians must sign a waiver for each child participating.

As an outdoor facility, our programs and events are almost always dependent on the weather. In the event of severe weather, programs may have to be cancelled.
