Spring Wildflower Hike: Exploring the North Country Trail and Itasca's Westerly Woods

Description

Remember to bring your camera when you join us as we discover the array of spring wildflowers during this late morning hike along the North Country Trail. We will be looking for the first ephemeral wildflowers of the “flower-budding” season as we hike through old growth hardwood forests.Watch for large flowered bellworts, hepatica and trillium. Portions of this 4 mile route will pass numerous wetlands and lakes where we might see returning waterfowl and shorebirds, so don’t forget your binoculars.
