Spring Ephemerals of the Bell Forest Preserve, Meduxnekeag River
Saturday, May 17, 10 am - 2 pm
Trip Leader: Susan Belfry
Location: Bell Forest Preserve, Bell Settlement Road, southeast of Jackson Falls, Carleton County (park on roadside)
This half-day walk will take participants through rich Appalachian hardwood forest looking for various spring ephemerals and other plants found on the Bell Forest Preserve. Acquired by the Meduxnekeag River Association in 2003, this 57-hectare parcel sits in one of the most botanically rich corners of NB – an area that contains numerous rare species, including many southern forest plants that just barely make it up into our province. The group will travel along the site’s well-maintained trail, which has no steep inclines. The trip will involve a total 3 km walk (1.5 km walk down to the river, and a return on the same trail back up the gradual incline of the gentle valley slope).
Difficulty: Easy to moderate
Note: Participants will be asked to register ahead of time and participation will be capped at 20 people. Register via email to susan.belfry@gmail.com
