Well, we certainly had to wait long enough, but spring has finally popped into bloom.  

To celebrate we are going to have a gathering at Dexter-Huron Metropark on Wednesday, May 9th from 6 - 7:30pm.  With the rain and warmth the cutleaf toothwort and spring beauties are in full bloom.  Trillium just started opening today!

Go into the park and take the first right.  Park down along the woods and then turn around and look at the huge swaths of spring beauties on the lawn.  

In mid-week there is usually no attendant at the toll booth.  Single entrance is $10 and a yearly pass is $35 with Senior (62+) only $21.  We will be focusing on the central woodland area, and then the asphalt path to the bridge and along the boardwalk.

Come and appreciate the restoration of this wonderful natural area where Toni and Ken Spears have worked so hard.  Many of us remember a total infestation of garlic mustard.  This place is a really good example of what consistent efforts bring back.

If you wish, bring a picnic and enjoy an evening or a few more minutes by the river.

Hope to see you there.  All are welcome.
