The 17th Annual Flower-a-thon, the biggest fundraiser of the year for Western Wildlife Corridor, will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2022.
With your registration fee of $25 you are eligible to join us for one or both field trips and a simple lunch at Kirby Nature Center. Expert naturalists will guide you to see the best places in the WWC preserves to find and learn more about these Spring blooming beauties. Most importantly, your dollars help us to conserve and protect critical habitat! Be sure to save your receive confirmation email after you register here. <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/291299212787>
For the first part of the day, you will meet your trip leader between 9:30 and 9:45 am at the preserve of your choice and depart for a hike at 10:00am. Please be on time so you aren’t left behind!
After the morning hikes, we’ll gather at WWC headquarters, the Kirby Nature Center and Preserve, at noon for lunch. Please make sure to RSVP if you are coming so we have enough food for everyone. While you compare your morning adventure with others, you can shop vendors! Artists Ann Geise and Sally Sisson Anderson will have wildlife artwork and other items for sale, along with native plants for purchase by Scott Peak of Wildscapes. After lunch some will depart for the afternoon wildflower hikes that will leave from the preserves promptly at 2:00 pm. You are welcome to hang out at Kirby for the rest of the afternoon, and visit the Bluebird trail, learn about the native butterfly garden, and walk the trails on your own.
Your generous donations enables us to preserve and protect precious habitat along the Ohio River valley. If you choose not to hike, you can still take part by joining us for lunch. Everyone is welcome! Please keep your e-ticket and bring with you to the event!
We hope to see you there!
