Pasque Flower field trip
Led by WMC president Holly Einess
In person; meet in the Life Church parking lot, 2201 W 108th Street, Bloomington
View the earliest blooming prairie flowers on the bluff above Nine Mile Creek in Bloomington. After seeing the Pasque flowers we will walk down to the creek and on to the Minnesota River. Those who wish to go farther are welcome to do so on their own. Good hiking shoes/boots are encouraged; hiking poles and/or binoculars optional. You might also consider downloading an app or two (if you haven't already), such as iNaturalist or Seek for plant ID and Merlin Bird ID or Audubon for bird ID.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend. Friends and family are welcome!
