Sheffield is a global hotspot for rare species and Bartholomew’s Cobble puts on one of the best shows of spring ephemerals from mid-April to mid-May. Come greet the rich variety of wildflowers on Saturday, April 25 from 10 – noon, and leave with an understanding of how to help identify and protect these gems of our native flora not just in conservation lands, but in your own yard and the open spaces of your community.
A Trustees of Reservations naturalist will reveal what makes this particular environment so well-suited to rare and diverse plants and explain what the Cobble is doing to protect the natural resilience of this landscape. You’ll see trilliums, trout-lilies, Dutchman’s breeches, wild ginger and many more! Please pre-register at http://www.thetrustees.org/things-to-do/berkshires/event-894.html?. The cost for TTOR members is $5, nonmembers $8.
