Wildflower Nature Walk Every year in the eastern woodlands, at just the right juncture of soil conditions, weather, and degree of foliage development, nature opens a narrow window of opportunity. Then it is possible for attentive hikers to witness a brief and spectacular showing of wildflowers. Participants on a free walk at Florence Shelly Preserve on Sunday, June 3, at 2 p.m. will be able to witness the colorful show this year. Botanist Frank Roia will lead the walk through the shady trails and along the diverse waterways of the 400-acre preserve, where wildflowers bloom in several different kinds of habitats. Participants can expect to see two kinds of cinquefoil, the dramatic yellow goat’s beard, and bladder campion with its white, hoof-shaped petals. Maidenhair ferns will be curling open in the woodlands, and Jack-in-the-pulpit will likely be in flower along the banks of the stream and by the deep glacial pond. With luck, the group will also spot the sensuous pink lady’s slipper hidden among moist leaves. Of course, as on any nature walk, the surprises are as rewarding as sightings of expected species, and everyone is encouraged to keep their eyes open for new plant sightings. Walk leader Frank Roia is an active member of the Florence Shelly Preserve Stewardship Committee. He taught plant botany and other courses on plants at Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science for sixteen years. A resident of Gelatt, he has identified 120 species of plants on the half-mile stretch of dirt road in front of his home. The wildflower walk will last approximately two hours. Appropriate shoes or boots are strongly recommended for a walk in this wetlands area. The walk starts at the preserve parking lot, one mile north of the village of Thompson on Route 171, at the point where Stack Road intersects. A sign marks the entrance. For more information call Trebbe Johnson at 727–4272.
