Exploring Nature's Bounty:
Summer Wildflower Workshop
Saturday, June 23rd, 2012
from 9:30 to 4:30
Every meadow has stories to tell...
Explore summer's vast botanical richness at the Koffler Scientific Reserve. The main focus will be on identification. We will also discuss various aspects of natural history, ecology, lore, and uses thus allowing us to develop deeper connections with the plants we encounter. Bring your favourite wildflower field guide and a hand lens if you have one (Not to worry - spare guides and lenses will be available for use). Most of the day will be spent outdoors; walking distance of up to 5 km. Suitable for naturalists, hikers, gardeners, and anyone else interested in nature.
