Spring Emergence Exploration Hike – Lyme

7am to 3pm– Rugged ramble and explore with Jim (expect a challenging hike – off trail, uneven terrain, swamps, wetlands, and rocky areas). Bring water, lunch and snacks.

Join Jim Natale, naturalist and amateur botanist, on a ramble through Jewett and adjacent preserves to identify all types of plants, focusing on spring ephemerals and mosses. In the late fall 2025, Jim volunteered to lead a series of work parties to cut several acres of invasive Burning Bush there. We will see what native plants have been given the opportunity to emerge in the cleared areas.
