Late Summer Flora at the Solomon Grasslands

Steve Young and Laura Lehtonen, botanists studying the flora of the Capital District.

Saturday, September 26 | 9 am – 1 pm

We will be examining the flora along the new 2.6-mile Alfred Z. Solomon Grassland Bird Trail. The trail winds through the grasslands and along the Dead Creek with spectacular views of the surrounding fields and mountains. We will see a wide variety of late-summer, upland and wetland grasses and forbs and one of the largest populations of glossy-leaved aster and Georgia bulrush in New York. Bring your binoculars for the flora and the birds!
