Join Fringed Campion Chapter members, friends, and family on a native plant walk at the Selma Erwin Nature Preserve in Baldwin County. This old growth tract is chock-full of native plants and March is a perfect time to discover and admire those elusive spring ephemerals. The trails are built and maintained by the local mountain bike club.
The terrain is steep in places and can be muddy, so full mobility is needed to navigate the trail. This is a primitive site–no bathroom facilities are available, but plenty of trees. Plan accordingly.
Meet at 10:00 am at 2460 Vinson Hwy, Milledgeville, GA 31061. This address is across the street from a field in which we will park and begin our hike. Look for the “Plant Hike” sign at the edge of the road. If you use the What3Words app on your phone, these words will guide you to the exact spot: ///sift.older.immune (You may see the name spelled “Selma Erwin” which I believe is correct. Other sources may call this place “Selma Irwin trails”, either name will get you there.)
Wear long sleeves, long pants, hat, hiking boots or shoes, and insect repellent, and bring drinking water, a walking stick, and trail snacks if desired.
