Come along with Fringed Campion Chapter members and friends on a native plant hike led by Kevin Haywood at the Theron Ussery Park / North Macon Park on March 28th, 2026 at 11AM. We’ll see trillium, rue anemone, and red buckeye in bloom along the trail. English ivy, leather leaf mahonia, nandina, and more invasive plants are also present and we’ll discuss how they disrupt native flora and fauna.
