About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Many woodland flowers bloom as early as weather permits, before trees have a chance to leaf out and create too much shade. Join Dave in the park to see what's up and what's on the way. By next month it will be too late to spot these early bloomers. Besides wildflowers blossoming, birds are preparing for nesting, with new species arriving from the south every week.

The planned walk is approximately 2/3 miles in length. Free. Space limited. Registration required. Sponsored by Friends of Minnehaha Park.

Frequently asked questions

Is the walk accessible?

The walk starts from the free lower parking lot of Wabun Park and continues down a gradual but noticeable descent on a paved path down into the lower glen. The paths then are mostly irregular unpaved dirt and gravel trails at varying elevations.

Is registration open to children?

The walk is recommended for adults and children ages 12 and up accompanied by an adult.

Is there a waiting list if the registration is full?

Yes! If the event is full, feel free to add your name to the waiting list. Also, these walks are offered monthly, so if you are not able to enroll in this class, there will be other opportunities. Add Friends of Minneheha Park to your favorites to be alerted to other events.
