MNPS Field Trip: Wildflowers of Red Run, Baltimore County

Identify spring wildlfowers, which includes wild azalea. The new Red Run Stream Valley Trail is within the closed section of Dolfield Rd at the intersection of Pleasant Hill Rd in Owings Mills Maryland. The hike is probably 1.5 miles each way, with parts paved and parts mulched trail. Some of the boardwalk may be built although the bridges across a Use III stream (breeding trout) are planned for the future.
