Wildflower Walk
April 28, 2012
Nolin Lake State Park
10a-12n central time
Led by Carl Suk
Join horticulturist/botanist Carl Suk as he guides you on the second annual “Nolin Lake Wildflower Walk”. The spring ephemerals like Spring Beauty, Bluets or Quaker Ladies, Jack-in-the Pulpit and Rue Anemone should begin to emerge. Known as the Waterfall Trail for the natural waterfall on the property, it is moderate to traverse. Sturdy hiking shoes are recommended; bring water and a trail snack as there will be ample opportunities for rest stops along the way. A floral checklist will be provided for those who would like to record the plants we see. This is a 1.6 mile hike.
Meet at the parking lot near the trail head.
Carl Suk is former Natural Areas Land Manager for Louisville Metro Parks at Jefferson Memorial Forest. He has lived at Ambassador Shores (Nolin Lake neighborhood) for the last 16 years. He is currently working as a volunteer for the Army Corps of Engineers doing a comprehensive vegetation analysis of the flora of Nolin Lake, mapping of rare plant locations and locating invasive species. To date he has cataloged over 700 species.
Carl welcomes volunteers to help with his nature projects. Contact him at the 270-230-5334 if you would like to volunteer to assist him.
