Nature Hour: Discovering Our Spring Ephemeral Wildflowers

Lancaster Conservancy

Join us for this virtual presentation to learn all about these natural beauties that light up our woods in the springtime!

Nature Hour

This virtual lecture series, presented by Lancaster Conservancy throughout the winter, covers a wide range of conservation, environmental, and nature-related topics impacting our community, region, and world for learners of all age!

<h3>About the Presentation</h3><p>Spring ephemeral wildflowers bloom in early spring before the forest canopy leafs out as part of their strategy to capitalize on sunlight availability. They do all of their growing and reproduction during the time when sunlight reaches the forest floor, which is an ingenious survival and reproduction strategy. In the process, they create beautiful landscapes of color that we get to enjoy! This presentation will explore the magical world of spring ephemeral wildflowers, examine their survival and reproductive strategy, and provide tips to identify our most common beauties.</p><p><br></p><h3>About Your Presenter</h3><p><strong><strong>Keith Williams</strong></strong> is the Vice President for Engagement and Education for Lancaster Conservancy.
