Signs of Spring at Blockhouse Point (Saturday)

Sponsoring Organization:  Virginia Native Plant Society, Potowmack Chapter

This park is one of Montgomery County’s Best Natural Areas and includes mature upland forest, floodplain forest, diverse wildlife and grand views of the Potomac River and C&O Canal.  Walk with Carrie Blair to discover swelling tree buds, which offer so much information with color changes; scales opening, and tiny flowers emerging on trees and shrubs.  Moderate hike with somewhat steep slopes.
