Glynwood Center Presents: "Spring Ephemerals, a Walk in Our Woods"
Explore the wonders of Glynwood's spring forest in this lecture and 3-hour hike through their rich and diverse landscape and neighboring Fahnestock State Park. Guide Ulrich Lorimer will introduce participants to native spring ephemerals, the environments that nurture them, and the invasive species that threaten them. He will also talk about little-known woodland shade plants and ferns that are difficult to grow.
To participate fully in this exploration you must be able to hike on forest trails that are moderately steep in places.
Ulrich Lorimer is Curator of Native Plants at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. A cum laude graduate of University of Delaware, he has also worked at the National Arboretum and Wave Hill.
The workshop takes place on Saturday, May 3, 2008, from 10am-4pm and costs $65, including lunch. Registration and advance payment are required. To register, contact Anita Barber at 845-265-3338 or abarber@glynwood.org
Glynwood Center is located on Route 301 (off Route 9) in Cold Spring.
