Spring Wildflower Safari
May 30-June 1, 2025
Shawnee Lodge and Conference Center, Portsmouth Ohio.
We are planning a fun and relaxed weekend exploring the beautiful natural areas of Shawnee State Forest in Scioto County, and the wild areas in Adams County. We expect to find some amazing wildflowers, as well as migrant warblers who have returned to nest, and many other amazing creatures that we will see during our daytime and nighttime forays into nature. As our past Safari’s have proven, there is always something new and fascinating to discover in the Hills of Shawnee and the Edge of Appalachia. We will have two programs: Friday night will introduce you to wildflowers you will likely see on your field Saturday field trip. On Saturday night, you will get a look into Bobcat conservation.
You may get a head start and book your rooms at any time.
Registration opens in January, 2025. Limit 75.
