JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Spring blooms and birds will be featured when the Missouri Department of Conservation hosts a Spring Wildflower Hike.

The hike will take place from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 13, at Crowder State Park near Trenton. This hike will be on the park’s River Forks Trail.

The moderate, one-point-nine mile trail winds through hills with white oak and shagbark hickory trees. MDC conservation educator Adam Brandsgaard will lead the hike and answer any questions participants have about wildflower identification and ecology.

Participants may want to bring wildflower guidebooks, plus binoculars are useful in watching migrating spring birds. They should also dress for weather conditions and bring their own water and snacks.

The hike is open to participants ages 14 and older. Registration is required. To register, visit short.mdc.mo.gov/4gu.
