[Sviannouncements] Wildflower Hikes in April

[Sequatchie Valley Institute]

Wildflower Hikes

April 2, 2011 -- 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
April 9, 2011 -- 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Come and join the Sequatchie Valley Institute staff and friends… and the ragwort, dwarf buckeye, phlox, bloodroot, trout lily, trilliums, wild geranium, dogwoods, redbuds, etc! in the beautiful Sequatchie Valley for our spring wildflower hikes, on Saturday, April 2 and Saturday, April 9. The hikes will be accompanied by expert naturalist and forester, john johnson.
We will begin hiking at 11 am Central Time (12 noon Chattanooga time — Eastern Time). Early birds (10:00 am Central Time) may enjoy a biodiesel tractor-pulled hayride up the hill to the start of the hike. There will be a choice of a long, strenuous hike deep into the Gulf, or a shorter, more relaxed walk.
Plan to take lots of pictures! You are welcome to come early to visit our gardens, hand-crafted homes, and crafts gallery, which will be open for purchases of fine nature-based crafts produced by our staff, and specialty books. If you wish, you may bring a picnic lunch to eat at one of our beautiful picnic areas in the woods.
A sliding-scale donation of $5-20 will be used for our non-profit educational programs. For directions to SVI, which is located in the Cartwright community half-way between Dunlap and Whitwell, 45 minutes from Chattanooga, or for more information, contact us at 423-949-5922, or email officemanager [at] svionline [dot] org
