Elkhart Hill Wildflower Walks on schedule for April

 

[March 17, 2021] 

The Elkhart Historical Society announces the schedule for the April Wildflower walks on Elkhart Hill.

The April wildflower walks will be offered twice a day at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. every Saturday in April starting April 3rd. The early dates will allow for the very earliest of the spring ephemerals such as spring beauties and Dutchmen’s breeches to be enjoyed. Later in the season the vast sweeps of Virginia Bluebells for which the tour is known will delight those who visit.

Guests may also opt to enjoy a delicious lunch at the Wild Hare Café’ mid-day on tour days.

The final Saturday, April 24th will offer two bird walks at 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. and a combination bird and flower walk at 10 a.m. Private tours for groups of ten or more can be arranged on other days during the spring bloom.

The bird walk will once again be led by a team of fabulous birders who helped to identify over 60 species of birds on previous walks.

Reservations for all events must be made by calling 217-947-2238. Reservation forms with times, cost, and menus can be found and downloaded at the elkharthistoricalsociety.org website at The Country Bumpkin Wednesday Through Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
