Late-Season Wildflowers Field Trip
By late August and September, many plants have begun to prepare for the fall season: setting seed, dropping leaves, or putting out new growth. However, there is still a lot of blooming yet to be done during the later parts of summer by a wide range of species — especially by species that thrive in and near wetlands. This field trip aims for an encounter with at least one orchid species, as well as a suite of wetland species and some spectacular fall blooming species like Greater Fringed Gentian.
Field Trip attendance is free for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog members. The $25 membership fee covers free entry to all field trips and programs, excluding workshops, in a 12-month period.
Registration is required at saxzim.org. Registrants meet at the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center and Lois King Education Center at 10 a.m. The field trip concludes at 3 p.m.
