Burn, Bark and Buds Nature Walk – April 25

Burn, Bark and Buds Nature Walk – Saturday April 25, 2026 @ 10:30 am.

We’ll tour the areas that were subject to a prescribed burn by PlantWise on March 29 and explain the reasoning behind it. On our walk, we’ll also take a look at identifying trees by their bark. We’ll keep our eyes open for the fallen buds of tree flowers on the path and spring ephemerals showing off for a preciously short time in their cycle.

Meet by the bench at the main entrance to the woods: West of Scarlett Middle School; south of the bus turnaround loop. Bring your sense of curiosity and wonder. Expect surprises. Please wear sturdy shoes and long pants. Spray your ankles, etc against ticks.
