BioBlitz Featured Location: Nan Weston Nature Preserve at Sharon Hollow
Type: Presentation
Description:
Nan Weston Nature Preserve at Sharon Hollow is a dynamic area, featuring more than 260 species of wildflowers and other native plants. This preserve lies in the Upper River Raisin Watershed, an area highly altered by agriculture, logging, and development. As you hike the trails through floodplain forest and wooded wetlands, look for a vast array of wildflowers and other native plants. Beginning in mid-spring, woodland plants come to life, including bright blue hepatica, Dutchman’s breeches, spring beauty, southern blue flag iris, squirrel corn, starflower, bloodroot, and large-flowered trillium. There are 2.9 miles of marked trails throughout the preserve.
