Early spring wildflowers race to bloom before the nearby trees leaf out. Their brief lifespan is part of what makes them so special – and easy to miss! Join Berkshire Natural Resources Council (BNRC) for a walk along the Old Mill Trail to catch these beautiful flowering plants before they are gone. We will learn about the unique ecological partnerships they form, and what makes the Berkshires such a fantastic place for wildflowers to thrive.
This walk will be approximately 3 miles round trip, with little elevation gain. Our pace will be moderate, with occasional stopping along the way. Participants may choose to turn around halfway once the accessible portion of the trail ends. Please bring water, a snack, and wear shoes suitable for muddy conditions.
