Identifying spring-blooming wildflowers will be the focus of this year’s last “Wednesday Walk-in-the-Woods” series of free, monthly hikes. The public is invited to meet new people and enjoy some fresh air exploring the nature of Bass River State Forest on this moderate-paced, 1- to 3-mile hike on Wednesday, May 28, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Volunteer master naturalist Kathy Gardiner will lead the walk. Participants should be prepared for mostly flat hiking. 

After the walk, participants can bring lunch and eat at the historic Civilian Conservation Corps rain shelter. The event will be canceled if heavy rain or thunderstorms occur. No pets are permitted.

The event is limited to 15 participants, and registration is required. To sign up, contact the Bass River State Forest Office at 609-296-1114 or bassriversf@hughes.net.
