Join Environmental Scientist, Joey Thompson, as he leads a walk for the Pocahontas Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society on Sunday, September 8th. We will explore an acidic oak-heath forest, a mesic mixed hardwood forest and lastly, a relic piedmont prairie habitat rich in late-summer wildflowers and numerous ecologically important grasses.
Register with Leslie Allanson at leleorr4@gmail.com to confirm your participation. We will meet a little before 11 a.m. at the parking area behind Richmond Fire Station 25, 8800 W Huguenot Road. Anyone with an interest in our native landscape is welcome, from novice to expert. The outing is free.
Our walk will cover about 1.5 miles with some hills and would be considered moderate to moderately-vigorous intensity. Wear walking shoes and bring your own insect and sun protection, as well as water and snacks. Trip may be canceled due to heavy rain; contact Leslie with any questions.
