Spring Wildflower Walk at Fort Ancient

Join us on Saturday, April 7, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. at Fort Ancient Earthworks and Nature Preserve for the annual Spring Wildflower Walk led by Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist Dave Woehr. Participants will enjoy the natural beauty of the flora and fauna gracing the woods of southern Ohio while learning about spring flowers and plants.

“Every spring we are amazed by the beauty of the landscape at Fort Ancient. The blooming wildflowers set against the timeless archaeology of the ancient mounds is an incredible sight,” said Fort Ancient Site Manager Jack Blosser
