Event Details

INWOOD HILL PARK

Date & Time: Wednesday, May 11, 6:00-7:00 PM

Location: Meet at the Inwood Hill Park Nature Center at 218 Street and Indian Road

Guide: Matthew Palmer, Professor, Department of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology, Columbia University

 

Event Description: The forests of Inwood Hill Park contain mature red oak and some of the largest tulip trees in the city.  There is also a rich, moist valley between two rock ridges called The Clove.  During the early spring, the valley is covered in wildflowers, which are able to thrive in the sun before the canopy leafs out.  Some of these wildflowers include the city-rare downy yellowy violet (Viola pubescens), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) and Dutchman's breeches (Dicentra cucullaria).

 

Please Note: We will mostly be walking along paved paths.  We recommend being properly outfitted- long pants, long sleeve shirt, and wide brimmed hat.  You may also like to have water, sunscreen, camera, wildflower guidebooks, hand lens or magnifying glass.  Children under 16 welcome if accompanied and supervised by an adult.  If inclement weather, contact us here via eventbrite.
