Discover Spring Series
4 sessions • 8 hours

Join us to discover the intricacies of seasonal progressions across Frederick County. We’ll meet on-site at a different location for each session and learn how to identify common plants and flowers on sight based on characteristics and relatedness. Also find out how to identify common local birds based on appearance and song as well as local fauna based on appearance and habitat during the season. Wear proper shoes and dress for the weather. Plan to walk about one mile over easy terrain. Participation requires personal transportation to each trail site.
