Spring Plant Blitz: New Germany State Park (Sunday)

On May 15, 2010 several members of the Western Mountains Chapter of MNPS went for a leisurely walk to botanize from the old schoolhouse to the lake and back. Using the species list created that morning 14 years ago, we’ll retrace this route to see how species richness has changed over time. Today’s walk will not come close to covering all the cool plants found in the over 400 acres of New Germany State Park. So pack a picnic lunch and spend the afternoon discovering more species on your own!
