Wildflower Walk At Ferry Hill — May 1

April, 2021 Tagged With: C&O Canal, Ferry Ridge Trail, hiking, Potomac Valley Audubon Society

wildflowers.

Join volunteer naturalists for a walk on the trails of Ferry Hill Ridge Trail (across the river from Shepherdstown) and the nearby C&O Canal. This walk is scheduled to coincide with the later spring wildflower season – participants will be on the lookout for Pink Shooting Stars, Dwarf Larkspur, Squirrel’s Corn, Wild Ginger, and Jack-in-the-Pulpit.

The trails around Ferry Hill are primitive, so wear sturdy walking shoes. Children are welcome with adult accompaniment. Please leave pets at home. May 1, 10:00 am to noon.

Free, but pre-registration is required (limited to 15 participants). Register through the event page on the Potomac Valley Audubon Society website.
