Ever wonder about the variety of plants that we see in the Kimberley Nature Park, and notice how different they are from the disturbed areas around town? What happens when ground cover that has grown and matured for many, many years is disturbed and then left to fend for itself? If left undisturbed or with only very gentle disturbance, nature has a way of achieving a balance over time, and can maintain this balance.

Join us for an informative walk and learn about some of the non-native plants that are threatening habitats. Meet at Forest Crowne at 10 a.m. (turn off the highway into Forest Crowne and then continue straight through all intersections until you reach the end of Forest Crowne Blvd). We'll start out by identifying some of the more common invasive plants in the area, and then continue into the Kimberley Nature Park to see what we find there. The full walk will take about 3 hours and after about one hour of plant identification, will head up the open tree and grassland habitat of Sunflower Hill, then through the beautiful old forest along Duck Pond trail, and return back through Forest Crowne. Alternatively, join us for just the first hour to learn to identify some of the plants.
