ONLINE EVENT – Ephemeral Spring Wildflowers – hosted by the Capital Region Native Plant Society
April 22, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day with a Virtual Walk at Ann Lee Pond!
Spring ephemeral wildflowers are native perennial woodland plants that sprout early each spring, quickly bloom and seed before the canopy trees overhead leaf out. Once the forest floor is deep in shade, the leaves wither away leaving just the roots, rhizomes and bulbs underground. It allows them to take advantage of the full sunlight levels reaching the forest floor during early spring.
David Behm (Curious By Nature) is inviting you to join him for a virtual walk featuring the spring ephemeral wildflowers at Ann Lee Pond Nature and Historic Preserve in the Town of Colonie. This online session will last around 45 minutes, including an interactive discussion period immediately following the 30-minute presentation. Be sure to grab your favorite beverage and a bag of popcorn before you get comfy prior to the presentation.
