Description
Join us at the Old Baldy trailhead at Arcadia Dunes: The C.S. Mott Nature Preserve for our annual dune wildflower hike! Volunteer Paula Dreeszen will share her knowledge and passion for native plants with a backdrop of Lake Michigan atop the perched dune at Old Baldy.
The Basics: This is a 2.5 mile hike with gradual elevation change on mostly firm trails. There will be one steep climb up to the perched dune. We will be making several stops to share specific wildflower information along the way. We love having experts to help point things out, but no prior experience in identifying plants is expected, just come prepared to learn! What should you bring? Dress for the weather. Sturdy, close toed shoes recommended. Consider bringing your binoculars or a camera. Consider bringing a re-usable water bottle and some snacks. Thank you for your interest in our event!
