HUNTER ISLAND -BOTANICAL WALK

 

Date & Time: Friday, May 6, 10:00 AM - 12:00PM

Location: Meet in Pelham Bay Park at the northeast corner of the Orchard Beach parking lot (far left corner from entry booth).  Parking is free this time of year.

Guide: David Kintsler, Wildlife Manager, Pelham Bay Park Administrator's Office

Event Description: Hunter Island in Pelham Bay Park is home to giant oak and tulip trees that may predate the American Revolution.  It also supports one of the richest  concentrations of native, rare plants in the city.  There will be abundant spring wildflowers such as wood-betony (Pedicularis canadensis), early meadow rue (Thalictrum dioicum) and emerging ferns and flowering dogwood trees (Cornus florida).  We'll walk the Kazimiroff Trail to see these floristic displays.
