Rainy Revival: Ferns, Bryophytes & Early Blooms
Third Saturday Nature Walk at Edgewood Natural Preserve


Goldback, Maidenhair, and Polypody ferns unfurl with the winter rains.  Enjoy the beauty of mosses, liverworts,  and early blooms.  Botanist and docent Mary Wilson leads this three hour, 3 to 4 mile walk to discover Edgewood’s rain-loving organisms.


Adults, seniors and families with interested children are welcome. We'll teach parents and children to identify poison oak, common along the trails.
