The Acton Arboretum is a little gem situated on 53 acres of orchards, woodlands, and a small bog. The Friends of the Acton Arboretum have planted a host of spring ephemerals in the woodlands and many should be in full bloom during this New England Wildflower Society and Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions field trip on May 9 from 10 – 2. We hope to see wood poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum), wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), trout lily (Erythronium americanum), red and white trillium (Trillium spp) and many more. We’ll focus on wildflower ID as well as fun and interesting natural history. Bring lunch. $38 for members of sponsoring organizations, $46 for nonmembers.
