Wildflower Hike with Devin Rodgers
April 4, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join botanist Devin Rodgers for a spring wildflower hike to identify the charismatic native, early-flowering plants of the Kentucky River Palisades. A number of related topics will be discussed like floral morphology, plant families, ecological patterns, biogeography, and conservation. We also hope to observe pollination by native bees and discuss their importance in forested ecosystems.
