Mothers Day Weekend in Pennsylvania's Ridge and Valley Province

We will return to the Haldeman Tract of the Weiser State Forest to repeat our investigation begun last October, this time to add spring flora to our list. This is a locally higher elevation site, at about 1700 ft. of Chestnut Oak-Heath forest. We will follow the Wolfe Pond trail to Deep Hollow. List of plants found last fall will be available. This trip is co-sponsored by Williams, Powell, Clark and Stoney Valleys Botanical Society (WPCSV Bot. Soc).

Leader: Lou Aronica

Directions: To simplify directions, we will meet in our usual of location of Dauphin, Pennsylvania and group ride to the site. Proceed to Harrisburg, PA via I-83 (Baltimore Area) or I-270 and Route 15 (DC area). Take Route 22-322 about 7 miles north to the town of Dauphin – exit into town about 1000 feet – and gather in front of small shopping area on left.
