Wildflower Hike At Goll Woods State Nature Preserve
Event part of the family-friendly Natural Areas Discovery Series
ARCHBOLD, OHIO—Spring provides a variety of pastel blooms in Ohio’s woodlands. Visitors are invited to join a wildflower hike at Goll Woods State Nature Preserve, part of the Natural Areas Discovery Series, on Saturday, May 1 at 11 a.m.
Dozens of lovely spring ephemerals dot the forest floor at Goll Woods including trillium, bloodroot, Dutchman’s breeches, harbinger of spring, hepatica, mayapple, Virginia waterleaf, wild blue phlox, trout lily and many others. This easy-paced, naturalist led walk is perfect for the whole family.
Goll Woods State Nature Preserve protects one of the least disturbed woodland in northwestern Ohio. This 321-acre site exemplifies the “Black Swamp” forest which once covered a vast area southwest of Lake Erie. The preserve harbors giant bur oaks and exceptionally large white oaks, chinquapin oaks and cottonwoods. For more information on the Goll Woods event, call (419) 445-1775.
Sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, the Natural Areas Discovery Series features guided hikes, interpretive activities and outdoor programs. To learn more about Ohio’s 134 state nature preserves, visit www.ohiodnr.com/dnap.
