MNPS Field Trip: Wild Washington- Fort Chaplin (Sunday)

Sponsoring Organization: Maryland Native Plant Society

142nd walk in the Wild Washington- Forts series

Continuing our series of visits to Civil War Fort sites in Washington, DC we will return to FORT CHAPLIN. Always a very special trip in May because wild flowers are in bloom.  We will also be in one of the best forests in the Fort Circle and see much more than wildflowers.
