Participants will meet at the Morefield Village gas station, and then explore the hillsides around the Morefield Campground, learning how to identify plants in the winter months. Be prepared to be outdoors for 2–3 hours with extra layers of clothing, water, and snacks. There is a limit of 15 adults and children. If needed, snowshoes will be provided, or you may bring your own.
