NEW DATE! Wildflower Hike at the Forest – Now on Tues April 14th – 5:30PM
The wildflower hike at Fontenelle Forest has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 14 (previously scheduled for April 7th). Those interested in attending should meet in front of the main building at 5:30. The guided hike will begin at 5:45 and last until 7:00 or 7:15. Our Fontenelle Forest guide will know where to go to find the best potential shots.
Suggestions for those attending
- Wear comfortable shoes or hiking boots. We will be on trails, not the boardwalk.
- Pay attention to the weather forecast and dress accordingly.
- Bring bug spray and perhaps even a hat.
- Bring hiking poles if needed.
- A backpack for loose gear, extra lenses, and water would be helpful.
- Suitable lenses include a macro lens, 50 mm, wide angle, or a combination lens, such as 18-400mm.
- Our guide will have access to the main building, so restrooms will be available before and after the walk.
