Richard’s Rambles: The Blue Trail in Bloom

FOR ADULTS (18+) AND TEENS AGES 15-17
Spring ephemerals are nature’s early bloomers, appearing before the trees leaf out and vanishing just as quickly. But not all woodland trails reveal the same treasures! This Ramble along the Blue Trail will take us through rich, varied habitats where we’ll seek out delicate wildflowers like spring beauties, wild ginger, and trout lilies. Along the way, we’ll explore the unique conditions that allow these fleeting beauties to thrive. Discover what’s in bloom and enjoy the ever-changing landscape of spring at Tyler!
There’s more to discover in Tyler’s 650 acres. Join Dr. Richard Brenner for a walk through the various eco-communities at Tyler. From seasonal wonders, living fossils, meadows, watery locations, geological treasures, conservation areas, and unexpected wildlife, Richard will expertly guide you to prime areas for an experience you will remember. Expertise from others will often be on hand for a more in-depth exploration. These rambles are for those who have a love for nature, exploring, and learning. While a description of each ramble is posted in advance, we reserve the right to make last-minute changes, including adjustments for weather and trail conditions. Bring your reusable water bottle and dress for the weather, including sturdy shoes. Long pants and bug spray for tick prevention are recommended. 
Upon arrival, please check in first at the Visitor Center, where you’ll then meet your guide.
