Join Blandford Nature Center's Environmental Educators as they lead a introductory plant ID hike. This is a course designed for plant enthusiasts of all levels but will be catered towards people with beginner level plant knowledge. We will be on paved, wheelchair inclusive trails for the full duration of the program. We'll learn how to use plant ID apps and books. There will be time to go out into the field and practice our skills and learn how to ID common local plants. This program will fully be wheelchair inclusive.
