What
Walk
Where
Eastman Hill, Danby
Who
David Werier
Description
We will explore an acidic hilltop and adjacent talus slope in the south
edge of Tompkins County in central New York, which on the northern edge
of the Appalachian Plateau. Chestnut oak (Quercus montana) forests
dominate the hilltop while an interesting talus slope below the hill
creates for some added diversity. Expect to find some regional rarities
like rock harlequin (Capnoides sempervirens) and summer sedge (Carex
aestivalis) as well as some orchids and more. Some of the terrain will
be rugged so expect some difficult walking.
Contact David Werier (Nakita[at]lightlink.com) to register as space is limited.
This is a joint trip of the New York Flora Association and the Finger Lakes Native Plant Society.
Meet at CCE at 9 am to carpool or at the site at 9:30 am.
