Woodland Wildflowers

Heidi has kindly assembled a list of great wildflower viewing areas. Check out the Spring displays at these fantastic local sites!

John James Audubon State Park
Audubon State Park in Henderson probably has one of the best wildflower displays in the area.

Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve
Susan Haslip reports that the flowers are blooming, so head to WWNP and check it out!

St. Paul Nature Preserve
Take Highway 65 North. Once you pass St. Wendel Road on the left, watch for St. Paul's Church on the right. There is a small gravel parking area just past the church, and the entrance to the nature preserve is just past this parking area.

This is where some of the group went hiking with Sally Roth in March. Email Heidi for more information (fidiot@evansville.net)

Hemmer Woods Nature Preserve
This is up near Buckskin IN. Great little woods – good for all woodland wildflowers including white Trout Lily. Also good for frogs and red headed woodpeckers.

Twin Swamps Nature Preserve
Later in the spring this is a great place to check out a display of Bluebells, unmatched anywhere in the area.

Hemlock Cliffs
This is a great hike anytime of year but right now is especially nice with a good flow of water over the cliffs and in the stream. Nice place to see Hepatica if you get out there very soon.
