Oof I love pink in nature!
Also, a reminder: I’m leading a plant walk this Sunday, May 25th 10 am at Thompson Pond Preserve in Pine Plains NY. It’s a spring tree walk, specifically, but we’ll also see and talk about whatever plants and wildflowers that we see along the trails including, I hope, some of these! I only have a couple people signed up and would love to have a few more to make it happen. It’s beautiful out there right now, lush, and such a good time to hit the trails and see the plants. Pre-registration required!
If you don’t know, plant walks are my favourite thing I do as foliage botanics, a real joy and are pretty much what they sound like—we walk together and look at plants! I point out things of interest and share what I know, but it’s also quite casual and everyone’s input and insight is welcome. A great way to gather in community and get outside. Walks usually last about 2 hours.
About the trail: Thompson Pond is a fairly easy flat trail, with a few small inclines and a couple rocky bits to navigate—we won’t do the whole loop, just a small portion. This spot is incredibly ecologically diverse and one of the best places around to peep a vast range of plant and animal life.
Register here! The cost of the walk is $25, but you can give more if you’d like to, a pay-what-you-can structure, sliding scale-esque. Email if you need a lower rate for accessibility! No one turned away.
