Come join us for a walk around the MDC Discovery Center gardens.

Hidden Valley Natural Area – join us in a search for the elusive Goldie’s fern (Dryopteris goldieana). Some may call it a glacial relic. Field trip leader: John Richter richterjc@bv.com 816-519-8201.

Tentative…Presentation by an MDC Urban Forester, topic would include the biology of trees

Likely an unmaintained and at places steep trail, we will endeavor to explore the rock outcrops and deep hollows of the north facing riverfront forest. We hope to see an uncommon species: black maple (Acer nigrum). Field trip leader: John Richter richterjc@bv.com 816-519-8201.
