Field trips of the Arkansas Native Plant Society are for current and future members. (That’s right: Everyone is welcome!) Botanists from around the state lead these enjoyable and informative walks. If you are planning to attend, please inform the trip leaders in advance so they will know to expect you.

Uncertain of the weather?  Be sure to call the trip leader to confirm.

Wednesday, May 22, 10 a.m. Petit Jean Mountain State Park. Leader: Betty Owen (501-472-6920)

Meet at 10 at Mather Lodge, Petit Jean State Park, for a 2-3 hour walk on the Canyon Trail (easy to moderate). The walk will follow Cedar Creek’s many small falls and deep pools.  We’ll see spring wildflowers at their peak and Petit Jean’s gorgeous scenery. Lunch back at the lodge around 1 p.m. or bring trail food. Or both.
