Join Alina for this amble along the paved river trail at the Fires Creek Recreation Area, where we will revel in the many colors of our mountain valley springtime! This is a great time of year to admire the flowering Blood Root, Trout Lilys, and other spring ephemerals, like Little Sweet Betsy Trillium, Cross Vine, May Apple (Mapple), and more. We will discuss identification tips, wildlife benefits, and other interesting notes.

We will meet between 4:45-4:55pm on Thursday, April 15th at the Fires Creek Picnic Area north of Hayesville, and be ready to go at 5pm. See the map below for exact location. We will keep a gentle pace during this event, and walk less than half a mile on a flat, paved trail that runs along the river. After this portion we will do the Leatherwood Falls loop, which is about .7 miles on a dirt trail and does include 127 ft of elevation gain. We suggest bringing water, a snack, a warm layer, sturdy shoes, and any naturalist tools you may want such as field guides, hand lenses, or binoculars. This event should last around 2 hours, we will back at the trailhead around 7:00pm.

This event is donation-based, with a suggested donation of $10. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but please give what you can.
