Come and explore mid-summer blooming wildflowers with “Boot” Boutwell. The reserve has seven miles of trails through a rich variety of habitats, but we won’t have to walk very far to see a host of flowers in bloom, as well as several plants in fruit. We will enjoy their beauty, learn some basic identification characteristics, and also learn some wildflower natural history and lore as we stroll through the meadows and wet meadows of the Reserve.
Please note: Program fee does not include site admission fee.
