# Event Details - **Event Name**: WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 05 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: WVU Core Arboretum is proud to share our urban old-growth forest and its amazing spring ephemeral wildflower display with the public!About this EventWe are happy to be able to share WVU Core Arboretum's ephemeral wildflowers with people again this spring! We are offering our traditional WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks to the public. We are requesting registration again this year to help us keep track of numbers and keep groups sizes reasonable, but registration is free as always.These walks are guided tours that meet at the Arboretum parking lot, and they typically last about 2 hours, although participants can leave whenever they want. Volunteer guides will lead participants to the wildflowers and point out the different species while talking about their ecology, interesting facts, etc. Last year, over 45 plants were seen in bloom by participants on these walks. These walks are an anticipated spring tradition for many people, and we wish that we could lead everyone on a tour. The Arboretum's spring ephemeral wildflowers are one of the things that makes Morgantown so special!Wildflower walks will be on all Sundays in April (5, 12, 19, 26) at 12:00, 12:30, 3:00, and 3:30 each day. Additional walks may be scheduled on weekdays and Saturdays if volunteer guides are available.Participants should dress for the weather and for hiking. The tour will include some steep trails. Free parking is available at the Arboretum parking lot and the nearby WVU Coliseum parking lot.Visitors are always welcome to come any time and enjoy the wildflowers by themselves, too. There will be information available in the kiosk about how to find where the flowers grow and to help identify the flowers that you find. Groups interested in a private tour or people interested in becoming volunteer guides should contact Zach Fowler, Arboretum Director, at zfowler@mail.wvu.edu. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/morgantown/wvu-department-of-biology-spring-ephemeral-wildflower-walks-2026/100001984153369139 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, trekking - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Morgantown - **state**: WV - **country**: United States - **location**: Core Arboretum Parking Lot - **lat**: 39.6469111 - **long**: -79.97736239999999 - **full address**: Core Arboretum Parking Lot, Monongahela Boulevard, Morgantown, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ac8d6f08fdc791694cadb15e3fca98b06faeffb038595b428f60de1a8cbeb9ae-rimg-w1200-h900-dc33332b-gmir.jpg?v=1772328702 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks 2026 being held? - **A:** WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks 2026 takes place on Sun, 05 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm at Core Arboretum Parking Lot, Monongahela Boulevard, Morgantown, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks 2026? - **A:** WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks 2026 is organized by WVU Core Arboretum. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks 2026", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ac8d6f08fdc791694cadb15e3fca98b06faeffb038595b428f60de1a8cbeb9ae-rimg-w1200-h900-dc33332b-gmir.jpg?v=1772328702", "startDate": "2026-04-05T12:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-26T17:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/morgantown/wvu-department-of-biology-spring-ephemeral-wildflower-walks-2026/100001984153369139", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Core Arboretum Parking Lot", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Monongahela Boulevard", "postalCode": "26505", "addressLocality": "Morgantown", "addressRegion": "WV", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "39.6469111", "longitude": "-79.97736239999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "WVU Core Arboretum is proud to share our urban old-growth forest and its amazing spring ephemeral wildflower display with the public!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-01", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-26T17:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-01", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/morgantown/wvu-department-of-biology-spring-ephemeral-wildflower-walks-2026/100001984153369139" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-01", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-01", "url": "https://allevents.in/morgantown/wvu-department-of-biology-spring-ephemeral-wildflower-walks-2026/100001984153369139", "price": 0, "name": "Wildflower Walk Free Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "WVU Core Arboretum", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/wvu-core-arboretum/23638774", "description": "WVU Core Arboretum is proud to provide free guided tours and nature education programming to the public!
