March 31, 2012
10:00 am to 3:00 pm

April 7, 2012
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. The hikes will be accompanied by 
guides familiar with the geography, ecology and biology of the area.

trilliumWe will begin the hike at 12 noon Central Time (1pm Chattanooga 
time -- Eastern Time). You must arrive at our parking area no later than 
11am to assemble for the hike. Early birds (10:00 am Central Time) may 
enjoy a hiking tour of our buildings and gardens. There will be a choice 
of a long, strenuous hike deep into the Gulf, or a shorter, more relaxed 
walk. Please be prepared for the hike with long pants, hat, sturdy 
shoes... and a container for water (we have springwater on tap).

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.

Please 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
