Wildflower and medicinal plant expert Allison Turner will lead a hike through the Hogback Mountain Conservation Area in Marlboro to discover the late summer/early fall flowers. We expect to see some interesting items, like a reddish-violet Bottle Gentian, and an uncommon polygala, as well as the more common, but still glorious, late summer flowers.This will be a leisurely walk with some elevation gain and loss, but nothing tricky. Meet at 10:00 in the parking lot on the south side of Route 9 west of the gift shop, near the white distillery building. Hosted by the Hogback Mountain Conservation Association, this hike is free and open to the public. Questions? Contact hmca@hogbackvt.org.
