Most of our forest plants go dormant on the winter, but there are some species in the understory that are still showing their colors this time of of year. Join botanist Kendall McDonald to learn identification and ecology of some of Floracliff's more recognizable lichens, mosses, and ferns. This hike will also feature the Kentucky River.

This hike will cover about 4 miles and will feature the Kentucky River, Elk Lick Falls, Elk Lick Creek, and the oldest documented tree in Fayette County. We may even see some early spring wildflowers such as hepatica, purple cress, and snow trillium.

End your day with a quiet and relaxing “magic hour” hike at Floracliff. This hike will feature Elk Lick Falls and the oldest documented chinkapin oak in Kentucky.

Learn how to identify some of our earliest blooming plants and help get Project Budburst started at Floracliff.

This wildflower hike will cover natural history, folklore, pollinator relationships, and other information about some our early spring ephemerals.
