Come
learn about our local
late summer/early fall wildflowers with naturalist John Anderson.
Primarily focusing on Asters and Goldenrods, we will explore the fields
and woodlands of Aton Forest in search of these beautiful plants. The workshop will be entirely in the field
and focus on the identification, ecology, and natural history of these special
flowers. Bringing a 10X magnification hand lens is recommended. Workshop will be followed by a light lunch.
JOHN ANDERSON is the Executive
Director of Aton Forest and has worked with plants in the region for over 30
years. He has vast knowledge of the
species within the preserve as well as a strong connection with the land and
history of Aton Forest.
