Spring Ephemeral Wander Walloon
Spring ephemerals are some of our first wildflowers of the year. These short-lived beauties flourish in the woodland understory just before the tree leaves appear. Enjoy them with us while they're here!

About the event
Join us and the Walloon Lake Association & Conservancy for a peaceful hike at one of our favorite spots to look for spring wildflowers (aka spring ephemerals). Spring ephemeral flowers are short-lived, blooming after the snow melts but before trees and shrubs leaf-out. In a matter of only a few short weeks, they bloom, photosynthesize, reproduce, and enter dormancy. During that time, they serve as an early season source of pollen and nectar for native insects.
