Join naturalist Bill Griffin for a hike along Elkin Creek and the E&A Trail on Friday morning, April 14.

The earliest March blooms have faded to seed; what new arrivals will we discover in April?

Besides delicate wood anemone and perhaps wild geranium, showy shrubs and trees are blooming.

Listen -- migratory songbirds may be passing through.

Meet at 8:30 in the parking lot at the north side of Elkin Recreation Center. Wear sturdy shoes; we will walk the Rustic Trail and Elkin Creek up and over trail.

Bring field guides, binoculars, notebook, and curiosity!

We will plan a third hike in this series on May 12 - and will be posting this event as it gets closer to May.

Watch for a future notice, and follow the seasonal progression of flora and fauna along this part of the MST!

Rain or shine - RSVP for updates and last minute notices.
