Wildflower Walk:

Spring is here and so are the wildflowers (and the weeds)! Join us and lend a hand to save the land.

April 20, 2024. 10 a.m. Upper Covered Bridge Lot

This event combines a walk with a service project in celebration of Earth Day 2024. Join us to spot spring ephemeral wildflowers in Fair Hill's old growth forests.  While walking, we will remove invasive garlic mustard plants. BONUS: Garlic Mustard is edible, and makes a fabulous pesto. We will have a sample available (with recipes). Try some if you dare!
