CNP Spring Wildflower Hike
Public Welcome Paid Event Program/Speaker Presentation Hands-On/How-To Workshop Lots of Physical Activity
This course will explore the rich spring flora of Shakerag Rag Hollow, an old-growth cove forest located on the campus of the University of the South in Sewanee, TN. Participants will be taught how to identify over 30 species of wildflowers and learn about the ecology of this highly diverse forest community. The wildflower display in Shakerag Hollow rivals that found in the Great Smoky Mountains and this course will occur during peak flowering time.
Participants will be required to make a ½ mile leisurely trek along a moderately steep trail into the cove and then back out again. PLEASE NOTE: People with mobility and balance issues have found this hike too challenging. Hiking shoes and rain gear will be needed. We will meet at the Shakerag Hollow trailhead on the University of the South campus.
