MNPS Field Trip: Spring Wildflowers at Turkey Run Park

Sponsoring Organization: Maryland Native Plant Society

See the amazing display of early spring wildflowers as we walk along the Potomac River at Turkey Run. We will look for Virginia Bluebells, Squirrel Corn, Trout Lily, Dutchman's Breeches, Sessile Trillium, Cutleaf Toothwort, and much more. We hope to walk up to 3 miles round-trip: 1.5 miles to Dead Run where we'll take a lunch break and enjoy the waterfalls before returning back the way we came.

Leader:  Sujata Roy
