Thank you to everyone who joined us for our May spring wildflower walk, and especially to guest presenter Sky Jowdy.

The spring wildflowers will come and go in their ephemeral way, but if you walk out into the woods and fields regularly all through the growing season, you will always find something blooming, growing, changing, fruiting, or sending seeds into the world, and some of these resources shared during our program may help you to learn more about them.

Maps

You can find a downloadable trail map for Charlotte C. Browne Woods (and maps of our other conservation land, as well) HERE.

Apps…

Chocorua Map App for iOS (free/by donation), includes trails on CLC conservation land and Mount Chocorua, with geological and cultural points of interest.

ID Apps

…with the caveat that you might want to check the identification against another app, a book, what you already know about plants, a friend, etc., especially if you are considering ingesting something. These apps are often but not always accurate. We discussed during the program how turning to these apps first might help you find the name of the plant, but doesn’t necessarily help you understand how to see the various parts of a plant in a way that will help you develop your own understanding of plants and plant families, as, for instance, the flower finder listed below does. The apps also don’t build direct community with other humans as looking at plants with a friend might do, or seeking out an elder or local expert and visiting plant communities with them.
