Flower power! Spring has sprung, and wildflowers are showing off their pretty blooms in the woods. Please join Athens Conservancy on a guided wildflower walk at 1 pm Saturday, April 23. Gather at the Beaumont-Salina Trailhead on Hamley Run Road in The Plains. The 3-mile round-trip walk will follow the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway to the Bluebell Preserve. Enjoy a spectacular spring wildflower display of trillium, Virginia bluebells, and blue-eyed Mary. Question? Send us an email at info@athensconservancy.org .
Directions to the Beaumont-Salina Trailhead: From Route 33 take The Plains exit (rt. 682). From the exit, do not turn toward The Plains but turn the opposite direction (ie if you are coming from Athens you will turn right onto 682. The first intersection just before the river is Hamley Run Rd. Turn left, go under the highway, and you will see the parking area on the right where Lemaster Road dead-ends into Hamley. (if you Google “Beaumont-Salina Trailhead” you will see a map…)
