Species Finding Field Trip: Lesser Rattlesnake Plantain

With all the biodiversity in the greater Sax-Zim Bog ecosystem, seeing the uncommon, rare, or difficult-to-find species can require special, targeted effort. This will be the second of this year’s new, species-focused field trip series. This field trip will focus on finding one of the most difficult orchid species to find in the greater Sax-Zim Bog ecosystem: Lesser Rattlesnake Plantain. This orchid is small, specialized, and a real stunner. Please note, this will be a strenuous field trip, with almost all the hiking done off-trail in uneven and wet conditions.

***REGISTRATION REQUIRED***
