Annual
Spring Event: NCCT and Powers Bluff
Saturday, May 22, 2010 11AM-2PM
On
Saturday, May 22, plan to join NCCT members and friends at
Powers Bluff County Park from 11AM to 2PM for a guided walk
and networking lunch.
Noted botanist and
UWSP Emeritus Professor, Robert Freckmann, will lead a walk to
identify spring flowers and plants that thrive under the dense
maple forest canopy at the park. You may see the rare goblin
fern, blue Cohosh, angelica and wild ginger.
Eighty acres of this
unique park in Wood County have been designated as a State
Historical Site. Skunk Hill, located in the park, was the home
of the Menominee, Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk people for generations.
Dance rings and burial grounds are preserved in the park, and the
Potawatomi still consider Skunk Hill a sacred site.
The NCCT Board is
hosting a potluck lunch at the shelter in the park following the
walk. Feel free to bring your favorite dish. NCCT will provide table service and beverages.
We hope you join us
to explore this jewel in our own backyard. Please let us hear
from you if you’re planning to attend. For directions, details and to RSVP, contact Jo Seiser, NCCT Executive Director, at
joseiser@coredcs.com or 715 341-7741. A small donation will be requested.
