Discovery Hike: Late Bloomers

The final wildflowers of the year line the sunny edges of the wetlands, forest, and open meadows. These flowers are a valuable source of energy for insects preparing for the coming of winter. Find out why yellow goldenrods are not the main cause of allergies and why it was once revered as a medicinal plant. Other interesting folklore will be discussed.
