Meet for carpooling at 9:00 AM at Hardee’s at 2038 West Main Street in Salem (very near I-81 exit 137). We will drive to Radford on U.S. 11/ U.S 460.

If you would prefer not to carpool, you may meet us at 9:45 AM in the parking lot at the park in Radford just off Main Street. There is plenty of parking at the park. Note that parking in the bank lot is illegal.

Radford University Emeritus Biology Professor Dr. Gary Cote will lead us through possibly the richest array of wildflowers we have seen in Virginia. We think you’ll agree it’s worth the drive! Dr. Cote is an expert on the flowers of the park, having kept notes on nature’s happenings there for years and serving as the webmaster for Wildwood Park.

The website is very informative — there is a complete list of flora and fauna found at the park and even an interactive key for identifying the wildflowers there. Go to wildwoodpark.atwebpages.com to enjoy pictures of the park and read more about it.
