Ferns, mosses, and forest plants

Join Helen Hamilton of the John Clayton Chapter, Virginia Native Plant Society, to look for summer forest plants, ferns, and mosses on a short trail in Freedom Park. The Historic Rivers Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists were involved in developing a path that leads to a deep ravine, heavily covered with low herbaceous plants. Bring a magnifier to look at tiny plants and a camera to photograph the larger ones.

Use the parking area by the trail entrance that is opposite the 3 restored cabins – look for the VNPS Plant Walk signs.
