the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s Biodiversity Task Force. Depending on the weather and the date of the walk, those who attend might see blooms of several types of trillium, whorled pogonia, lady’s slippers, native columbine, red buckeye, Virginia fringe tree, marsh marigold, spring larkspur, shooting star, trailing arbutus, bird’s foot violet, golden club (an aquatic plant), twisted stalk, golden saxifrage, paw-paw, and much more.
A wide variety of native nonflowering plants and native animals, especially birds, will also be on view. As well as planting native plants for food and shelter, Jones has provided bird houses and tree snags for many bird specie^, including wood ducks and bluebirds.
Jones will also discuss the joys and challenges of naturalizing property in Rappahannock County. The walks are free, but reservations are required to keep the group size small. Reservations are filling up quickly, so if you’d like to take the walk, contact Bruce Jones soon at (540)-675-3152 or bsjonz@ direcway.com.
