Come Join Us on a Spring Flower Walk – Saturday May 12 at 1:00 pm

April 12, 2018 Events

When is a Walk more than Just a Walk?   In Spring!

A walk in the upland woods of the Copeland Forest in spring is a stage call to participate in the grandest production ever.

After winter the set is quickly being painted, the forest floor is transformed almost instantly from brown to green.   Short in height, the mightiest performers leap onto the stage:   Spring beauties, hepaticas, violets, Canada mayflowers, Virginia waterleaf, squirrel corn and masses of trout lilies.

Rising up for the next act are players whose stature is higher and whose color and characteristics flaunt their import:   Yellow bellwort, blue cohosh, creamy false Solomon seal and piles of white foam flowers.

Finally the leading characters appear, taller and bolder.  White trillium grandiflorum, red trillium, even yellow trillium, Jack-in-the-Pulpit and the elegant, arching hobble bush. Apologies to the many players not named here, who add vibrancy to the entire spring wood’s experience.
