[BSW] Field trips on March 28, April 4 and April 11

[KATHY BILTON]

For 2020 we have three Saturday spring field trips planned for plant 
walks, two will be along the Billy Goat Trail in Maryland, the third will 
be in Virginia at Turkey Run along the George Washington Parkway.

Bring your lunch!  And keep your distance!

Billy Goat trail walks (2): Meet opposite the Old Anglers Inn at 9am for 
our plant walk on 28 March and 11 April.

Turkey Run trail walk on April 4: meet at 9am in front of the U.S. Park 
Police District Two Station, McLean, VA 22101 off of George Washington 
Memorial Parkway.  You can make a left while heading south just past the 
signed turn for Turkey Run park (slow down and turn from left lane across 
traffic).  People can contact Paul Peterson at 301-412-4212 if they are 
running late or need reassurance.  We go for a hike even if raining!

Plant lists, maps, etc can be found here:

We’ve decided that going on 28 March this year might be better since the 
Cherry blossoms are blooming early @20-23 March.  I’ve seen quite a few 
plants flowering already, i.e., Lindera benzoin (L.) Blume, Ranunculus 
ficaria L. etc.
