Join plant ecologist Molly Ferry for a guided wildflower walk at Shirley Canyon near Palisades Resort. 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 at the Palisades Parking lot near off of highway 89 between Tahoe City and Truckee.

No registration - just show up on time.
