Introduction to Native Plants: Spring Walk. Location: 1631 Booty’s Park Road, Georgetown, TX 78628. Join us for a Spring Walk as we locate the early bloomers and learn about plants native to our area. Booty Road Park Trail is a 2.4 mile moderately trafficked “out and back” trail that offers scenic views and is good for all skill levels. The trail is a combination of paved and unpaved, some up and down elevations, parts densely shaded, with good bird watching opportunities including a vulture’s roost.
We expect to see cedar elm, ashe juniper, live oak, osage orange, hackberry, greenbriar, boxelder and mexican buckeye. We will turn around at Weir dam, a sunny spot with switch grass, bushy bluestem and dewberry. We will keep a look-out for some favorites including maidenhair fern, blue curls, early wildflowers such as Englemann’s daisy, bluebonnet and mexican hat.
Free entrance, lots of parking, restrooms available. Look for FT leader Gary… no RSVPs required!
