Photograph Sunflower fields - Field Trip 1 July 13th - 7AM

The map of the fields is in the album. There are five fields this year, and they are at new locations.

Do not expect to find sunflowers at the same location as last year!

Please refer to the website for the latest photo.

Directions:
From the Capital Beltway, take Exit 39 (River Road) west toward Potomac. Proceed for approximately 11 miles to the intersection of River Road and MD 112, Seneca Road. Turn left and continue on River Road for about 2 1/2 miles. McKee-Beshers will be on your left as you head west on River Road.

Tips for a successful visit:
McKee-Beshers WMA lacks bathroom facilities, benches, and picnic tables. Please plan accordingly.

McKee-Beshers WMA is home to ticks, mosquitoes, and poison ivy. Long pants and shoes are recommended.

The sunflower fields can be hard to find. Please use the map provided to help you navigate to the fields.

Be sure to spray for bugs, as it can get buggy. I have not seen any ticks in the area, but please double-check to be sure.

Share only your very best, most interesting shots after the field trip, and keep it to between 5 and 10 photos.
