Led by volunteer naturalist, Margaret Chatham. Margaret has been poking around Fraser for nearly 30 years, celebrating the native plants and trying to discourage the invasive ones. She’s always happy to share what she’s seen, and keeps coming back because there’s always something new to look at. She is a Virginia Master Naturalist, member of the Virginia Native Plant Society — and has a very wild yard, full of native plants.
