***UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE NEW PARKING BAN AT EMERALD BAY, MOLLY IS CANCELLING THIS OUTING. SHE HOPES TO RESCHEDULE IT, BUT WE ARE UNCERTAIN IF IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO ARRANGE A SUITABLE MEETING LOCATION***

Join plant ecologists Molly Ferry and Hugh Safford for a guided 3+ mile hike near Emerald Bay in South Lake Tahoe. Participants will explore native plants, meadow herbs, and understory flora while learning from Molly’s work updating the classic Plants of the Tahoe Basin (Graf, 1999).

Wildflower Wednesdays are task-oriented toward search party species and map hunts. Expect off-trail hiking and uneven terrain as we search for species that need their distribution clarified for an update to Michael Graf’s 1999 Wildflower Guide. This may mean bypassing other interesting flowers to prioritize reaching key sites.

What to Bring: Water, sunscreen, layered clothing, sturdy shoes, a snack, and a botanical loupe (if you have one). No dogs, please.

Meeting Point: Please park and meet at this precise Google Maps location near Emerald Bay.

No registration - just show up on time.
