SWCD sponsors wildflower walk May 31 at Forestville State Park

The Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is sponsoring a wildflower walk on Thursday, May 31 at 6 p.m. at Forestville State Park.  Meet at the park picnic shelter, which is about a mile east of the park office.  One-day parking permits will be provided at no charge to the visitor.  A light snack will be provided.  The event is open to the public, and pre-registration is not required.  Brenda Pohlman, Master Gardener, along with staff from the SWCD will be leading the walk to learn about and enjoy the spring wildflowers that are blooming.  The walk will last about an hour to an hour and a half.  There may be some portions of the hike that are moderately steep, so wear appropriate footwear.  It is also tick season, so wear long sleeves and long pants and socks.  Tick repellent is highly encouraged.  Some wildflower identification materials will be on hand, or you can bring your own.  For more information, contact Donna Rasmussen at the Fillmore SWCD office at (507) 765-3878, ext. 3, or at donna.rasmussen@fillmoreswcd.org.
