Take a naturalist-led tour of Mosquito Hill Nature Center in search of spring ephemerals. These perennial woodland flowering plants are abundant in early May and emerge early to take advantage of sunlight before the trees leaf out. View and learn the natural history of species such as wild ginger, trillium, bloodroot, shooting star, hepatica, Dutchman's breeches, skunk cabbage, Jack-in-the pulpit, and more.
