Registration


Registration is closed

Sponsoring Organization: Maryland Native Plant Society

This will be a two mile there-and-back hike along the southern end of the Cabin John Trail in search of twoleaf miterwort, dwarf ginseng, early meadow rue, and other not-so-common spring bloomers.

Leaders: Elizabeth Miller and Marney Bruce

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Limited to 15.

Registration limited to members only.  

Notes:  This will be a two mile there-and-back hike with some elevation change. The Cabin John Trail has poor footing in some areas, especially if it's been raining. Wear boots and be prepared to cover two miles in about two hours. We won't stop to look at every single plant, just the more unusual ones. 

Bring: Good footwear and layers of clothing, guidebooks, camera, water and snacks.  A walking stick or hiking poles if you use them.

Cancellation Policy:  We will cancel if it is raining more than a light drizzle. Contact leader if in doubt about the weather.  Phone number will be provided to registered participants.

Contact: (for additional information; not to register)  Elizabeth Miller, berry@IdRatherNotSay.com. 

Directions: Will be included in registration confirmation.
