Knowing Native Plants: Spring Ephemerals
Spring wildflowers such as Dutchman’s breeches, bloodroot, bluebell, spring beauty, twinleaf and several species of trillium color the forest floor for a fleeting moment this time of year. Join Naturalist Mary Anne Borge to learn why these wildflowers are called spring ephemerals, how their life cycles work and how their seeds are dispersed.
Spring Bird Walk
The Preserve’s plant and habitat diversity provide nesting sites and food sources for many species of birds, including: warblers, thrushes, chickadees, woodpeckers, towhees, nuthatches and goldfinches. Bird walks depart from the Visitor Center and are led by experienced local guides. Suitable for ages 10 and up. Be sure to bring your binoculars if you have them.
Animals from Eggs
Eggs are an interesting method of reproduction. Some are soft while some are hard. Some are clear and some are opaque. No matter what the egg looks like, its job is to bring new life into the world. Join us as we celebrate the creatures who come into this world in a little package.
2020 Spring Wildflower Gala
The Spring Wildflower Gala, the Preserve’s largest fundraiser, is the area’s premier harbinger of spring. This annual black-tie and muck-boots event transforms the Preserve's Moore Pavilion in the Preserve’s front meadow into an elegant party venue. Guests explore the stunning spring wildflower beauty of the Preserve with magical evening woodland walks along the trails, savor a gourmet, seated dinner featuring spring-themed ingredients, engage in spirited live and silent auctions, and dance the night away. Funds raised from this year's event will support programming for children and families. Reservations for the 2020 Spring Wildflower Gala will be available in March. - For sponsorship opportunities, please contact the Preserve at 215.862.2924 ext. 105 or development@bhwp.org
