Ward Pound Ridge Reservation

Patty Butter, Botanist and Westchester County Parks Naturalists

Saturday, June 7th | 9 am – 4 pm

This year we will return to Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Westchester County a month earlier in the season to appreciate the diversity of sedges and other early flowering plants that populate this unique 4,300 acre Westchester County Park. Join botanists and Parks naturalists conducting a multi-year flora survey here to visit the glacial outwash, a marsh and river floodplain that are home to plant communities unique in the lower Hudson Valley.

Our trip may visit two locations, with walks through meadows and woodlands.

We will meet at the Michigan Road parking area. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of water, lunch, a sun hat, and be prepared for ticks.

This field trip is co-sponsored by NYFA and Westchester County Parks.
