Into The Wild: How and Where To View Wildflowers Locally

Join the Washington Native Plant Society’s Columbia Basin chapter, and our friends from REI, at the Richland Public Library to celebrate National Native Plant Appreciation Month! Botanist and Shrub-Steppe-Soil Crust Extraordinaire Al Sullivan will go over the importance of how and why to recreate responsibly when viewing wildflowers in the shrub-steppe. Then, CBWNPS Field Trip Chair Janelle will present a virtual wildflower walk that features some April blooms and where to find them. Upcoming free wildflower walks and some exciting native plant-related events happening throughout the wildflower season also will be highlighted. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided; bring your favorite mug to help cut down on waste and leave no trace. All are welcome to this free in-person event, provided in partnership with REI as part of their Recreate Responsibly Series.
