Join professional educator and wildflower enthusiast Susan Taylor for a wildflower walk at Hidden Valley Nature Center Friday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to noon. This walk is geared toward people who are just beginning to explore the vast world of wildflowers and those who are simply curious about what they might see blooming on their next hike. The walk will bring participants to the upland area of the Crossbill Trail and the wetlands of HVNC’s kettlehole bog, and will hopefully showcase an array of blossoms.

Participants should meet at the Gatehouse – the small building just 300 feet from the parking area along the main entrance trail. Please wear sturdy shoes for hiking, bring protection for sun and bugs, and pack water.

A few wildflower guide books and a few hand lenses will be on hand for you to use. If you have a magnifying glass or hand lens, you are encouraged to bring it!

Formerly the director of an adult education program, Susan has offered a lot of Wildflower and Nature classes and has been an active participant in many of them.  A long-time lover of the natural world and admirer of spring wildflowers, this is the first class she has led and she is delighted to be able to share her knowledge with others.
