Take A Wildflower Wander
Some sunny days and a touch of rain have the wildflowers bursting with blooms along Chik-Wauk’s nature trails. We’re in full swing with the mid-season wildflowers.
Current blooms are:
- Mountain Ash
- Twinflower
- Orange and Yellow Hawkweed
- Bunchberry
- Wild Lily of the Valley
- Buttercup
- Wild Rose
- Clintonia
- Daisy
- Moccasin Flower
- Labrador Tea
- Pussy Toes
If you need a little help picking out the blooms, you won’t want to miss your chance to take an interpretative “Wildflower Wander” with wildflower enthusiast, Betty Hemstad, author of Wildflowers of the Boundary Waters. On Sunday, June 26, Betty will lead a hike on Chik-Wauk’s network of hiking trails. The walk begins at 2 p.m. and those interested in the hike should gather on the Chik-Wauk Museum front porch.
This Sunday’s hike is the first offering in Chik-Wauk summer “Sunday Nature Walks and Talks series.” Every Sunday at 2 p.m. through August 28 you can take a hike with a naturalist or outdoor enthusiast on Chik-Wauk’s nature trails. It’s great opportunity to learn about the boreal forest and all its wonders!
