Field Trips: Spring 2010

2009 Wildflower walk

April 17 (Saturday 8 a.m.)

Wildflower Walk

Discover early-blooming wildflowers with Larry Cyrulik among the fractured basalt cliffs, pine & deciduous woodlands, and streamside at Giuffrida Park. We'll also seek out other bits of biodiversity. Meet at Cromwell Stop & Shop Plaza at 8:00 a.m., in front of the former Hollywood Video. Call Larry for more information at 342-4785. For a preview of some of the wildflower species that we may see in flower on this walk, go to our Wildflowers page. Every year the flowering is a little different because of the spring weather, however, we usually see at least 30 species of wildflowers.
