Wolf Run Ramble

Kyle Webster, Botanist, NY Natural Heritage Program

Saturday, May 25th | 10 am – 4 pm

Join us as we explore the spring flora of the unglaciated forests of Allegany State Park, one of the natural gems of New York State. We will hike through a rich cove, meandering along a stream shaded by hemlock, beeches, basswoods, ashes, and maples before climbing up the slopes to mosey along ridges dominated by blueberries, oaks, tulip and magnolia trees. We’ll see numerous violets, bellworts, buttercups, sedges, ferns, mosses, and a few species only found in the unglaciated region; round-leaved water cress (Cardamine rotundifolia) and speckled wood lily (Clintonia umbellulata).

This will be a 4-5 mile off trail hike with variable terrain, a few small stream crossings, and some slopes and hill climbing. But we’ll be moving at a classic botanists pace.
