Wildflower and nature hike with garlic mustard pull along the Minnehaha gorge

Invasive Garlic mustard is abundant now, so we will identify and remove what we find…while we also enjoy the emerging and ever-changing wildflowers on a congenial hike. We will follow our usual route from Minnehaha falls through the Minnehaha Creek gorge to the Mississippi, returning along an abandoned waterfall bed.
We will hike at a moderate pace (18 min miles); expect stairs, other uneven ground, and a few muddy spots. We will make frequent stops to admire flowers, birds, rocks, and anything else that catches our interest. Hike is on rain or shine, cool or warm, so dress accordingly. Bring garden gloves if you wish; I’ll supply garbage bags for garlic mustard.

As a treat for your labors, join with other hikers for a brew or snack at Sea Salt.
