Each spring, before the forest canopy fills with leaves, the forest floor bursts into color with delicate wildflowers known as spring ephemerals. These blooms are more than just a beautiful sign of the season—they play a critical role in the ecosystem. Their timing is strategic, taking advantage of sunlight before trees leaf out and aligning perfectly with the emergence of early pollinators. Join us for an engaging presentation with the Lancaster Conservancy that explores the beauty, identification, and ecology of these remarkable plants. Learn why they matter, how they thrive, and what makes them an essential part of our natural world. Event Highlights: – Stunning visuals of spring ephemeral wildflowers – Insights into their ecological importance and life cycle – Tips for identifying these species in the wild Details: – Indoor lecture – Suitable for adults and children over the age of 8 – Free to attend and open to all nature enthusiasts Celebrate the season and discover the hidden strategies behind these fleeting blooms. This event is open to all. RSVP preferred.
