Plant Mounting Workshop – Hawk Ridge Plants
Date & Time: Tuesday, March 17, from 6:30-8 pm
Location: Hartley Nature Center
Skill Level: Beginner
Event Description: Interested in combining arts & crafts with plants? Join Arrowhead Native Plant Explorers for an evening workshop to mount plants collected at Hawk Ridge this year. The finished plant mounts will be donated to the Olga Lakela Herbarium at UMD. We have about 100 plants left to mount, so we can definitely use your help! At the same time, we’ll relax, talk to other members and listen to a podcast.
Event cost: Your $20 (per household) annual Arrowhead Native Plant Explorers membership includes access to all events and field trips ($10 for students). For nonmembers, your first meeting or event is free and subsequent events are $10 per event.
FIRST FIELD TRIP – SKUNK CABBAGE!
Late March/Early-to-mid April–stay tuned for information on a field trip with Susan Nygaard to Maple, WI, to see Eastern Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) in bloom. This stinky, yet weirdly beautiful, early-bloomer makes its own heat to melt the ice & snow around it. Due to the nature of the site, this event will be limited to 12 people (in 3-4 cars only).
