Preserving Iconic Wildflowers: Trillium
Mt. Cuba’s premier collection of native trilliums provides a spectacular floral display each spring.

This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Sunday, April 26, 2026.

With survey knowledge she aided clients to achieve their projects in a regulatory-compliant manner. After seeing many remarkable sites during her private-sector career, Élan transitioned from finding practical and responsible environmental solutions in development to a conservation-centered approach.
