Wildflower walk scheduled

​It seems like spring might finally be here, and the Winnebago County Conservation Board wants to help you enjoy it. They will be sponsoring a Spring Wildflower Walk at Pilot Knob State Park, Saturday, May 12, beginning at 10 a.m. The leisurely walk will start at the main shelterhouse and will last about 60 minutes.
​During the walk, Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls will identify the Spring wildflowers blooming along the trail and will tell interesting facts about each one. Since spring is arriving a little late this year, it’s difficult to predict which flowers will be blooming May 12. But some possible candidates are trilliums, trout lilies, hepaticas, and bloodroots, among others.
​The walk will be free and open to the public and there is no need to register ahead of time.
In case of inclement weather, the walk will have to be postponed or canceled and that announcement will run on KIOW Radio (FM 107.3), as well as on the WCCB website (www.winnebagoccb.com) and on the WCCB Facebook page and WCCB Twitter feed.
