Sunday, July 9 - Bear Island - C and O Canal - Mile 12.6 (Maryland), meet at 8 a.m. at the parking area across from Old Angler's Inn. Things to bring: lunch, water, sunscreen, hat, hand lens, binoculars, field guides, etc. While we have a list online for spring flowering species, we don't have anything for the summer. Maybe someone will start one?
