2026 Signs of Spring in the Preserve
Friday, March 20, 2026 | 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Join members of the Preserve Team for a hike into the woods to look for signs of spring activity! As the forest slowly wakes up from a long winter dormancy, plants, animals, and other life start to change and prepare for the growing season. From early ephemeral plants like the Harbinger of Spring (Erigenia bulbosa) to the changing birdsongs as migrants begin to arrive, we're sure to encounter the promise of spring.
