Sign up to attend
Spring ephemerals are unique plants that only appear for a short time between March and May before disappearing below ground for the rest of the year. Native ephemerals provide important early spring forage for wildlife and pollinators, such as box turtles, bumblebees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, and lots of other insects.
We'll meet at the Daniels Run Trail at 3723 Tedrich Blvd at 9 a.m. and meander through the park at a relaxed pace. Expect an approximately 1-hour interpretive walk on unpaved trails to take in the serenity of spring and explore the amazing blooms in our woodlands. Be prepared to take a few steps off-trail as your comfort level allows.
This event is appropriate for all ages. Please note that this is not a dog-friendly event to ensure the comfort of all participants and to protect sensitive off-trail natural resources.
Registration in advance is encouraged so we know how many attendees to expect at the trailhead. Sign up to attend via our Eventbrite page.
Meet at the Daniels Run Trail trailhead on Tedrich Boulevard. Street parking is available; do not block driveways.
