November Native Plant Walk

Andrea Wakely

November 18 (Saturday), 9:00 am-11:30 am, Ivy Creek Natural Area

Jefferson Chapter member, Nancy Weiss, will lead a forest ecology walk.  This will be an opportunity to learn more about how various tree, shrub, and herbaceous species in Ivy Creek’s forests have changed over time.  See how to read the influences of man, geology, weather, fire, etc on the landscape. As we try to imagine how the forest looked 80 years ago, Nancy will also help with tree ID in winter and talk about what is known of how Ivy Creek became a nature center and not multiple houses.  Co-sponsors:  Jefferson Chapter, VNPS, and Ivy Creek Natural Area.  Meet by the kiosk near the parking lot. Free and open to the public.
