Sunday, Nov 04, 2018, 1:30pm-4:00pm. Walk the loop in the largest public park in Round Rock for an introduction on how to identify native plants in their natural habitat. This is the last of four seasonal walks at the Old Settler’s Park location… our goal is to practice identifying native plants during their annual growth cycle of winter, spring, summer and fall. Field guides and cameras are encouraged! 3300 E Palm Valley Blvd, Round Rock, TX 78665, (Hwy 79 east of IH 35).
DIRECTIONS: Park at 901 Harrell Parkway, Round Rock, TX 78665. Look for the signs to Soccer Fields 4-7 and RC Airplanes. We should have a couple of NPSOT signs out to help. Be prepared for walking on even, open terrain, wear sturdy clothes appropriate for the weather, closed toe shoes, and bring water and snacks as needed. Restrooms are available. Please plan on arriving a little early to sign a state NPSOT waiver. No reservation is required, but you may contact Gary Bowers (removed) if you have any questions.
