MNPS Field Trip: Seneca Creek Greenway Trail (Sunday)

Sponsoring Organization: Maryland Native Plant Society

We will return to the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail, starting our hike from the parking lot on Route 28. We will traverse the wooded bluffs and meadows above Seneca Creek and look for spring ephemerals on the wooded slopes leading down to Black Rock Mill. This stretch of trail has many non-native invasives but also some native plant populations still surviving, along with extensive plantings of native trees. 

We may walk 2-2.5 miles. This hike has some up-and-down walking and moderately steep slopes. Parts of the trail may be wet and muddy. The trail is used by mountain bikers as well as hikers. 

Leader: Marney Bruce and Anne DeNovo

FREE
