Wildflowers and Their Friends
Wildflowers and Their Friends
Let’s welcome wildflower season at Caribou Ranch! We’ll walk up to three miles through this gem of an open space searching for wildflowers and the creatures that love them. Each participant will get a mini-field guide covering the plants currently in bloom. The guide also lists some butterflies, bees, and mammals that wildflowers attract. Along the way, we’ll highlight the fascinating relationships between plants and the living world around them.

These fascinating creatures are more than cute little rodents who chew up the grass. This presentation is both fun and informative. It looks at the history, ecology, social structure, life cycle, behavior, and language of this keystone species — the pillar of the prairie.
