Phenology Trail

On Tuesday May 3rd, Phenology Trail volunteers and local plant enthusiasts got together in Watson Woods Riparian Preserve for a grass workshop led by local expert Sue Smith. This workshop provided a hands-on opportunity for the participants to become familiar with local grasses identification, their natural history, and phenology.
