> First there will be a short indoor session introducing some of the plants of the Wissahickon, focusing on the use of texture, smell, and shape as keys to plant identification.  Then there will be a short hike to put this knowledge into practice, examining plants as we follow a gravel road and a paved trail along a small stream to the Wissahickon Creek. See details below.
