The Fillmore Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is sponsoring a wildflower walk on Saturday, May 6 at 10 a.m. at the Choice Wildlife Management Area located four miles east of Choice on County Road 13 (watch for yellow WMA signs). Park along the road past the second bridge from Choice over the South Fork of the Root River. The event is open to the public, and pre-registration is not required. Brenda Pohlman, Master Gardener, will be leading the walk to enjoy the spring wildflowers. The walk will last about an hour. The trail is moderately steep in some locations, so wear appropriate footwear. It is also tick season, so wear long sleeves and long pants and socks. Tick repellent is also 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. This is one of a series of special events in celebration of the Fillmore SWCD’s 75th anniversary.
