Pink Lady Slipper Hike at Houdek Dunes

Sunday, May 29th | 2:00pm

Extravaganza of Pink Lady Slipper Orchids (over 2000) and much more to welcome Spring!

Why would over 2,000 Pink Lady Slipper orchids (also called Moccasin Flowers) bloom so profusely (hopefully) at Houdek Dunes?  Are they just showing-off their amazing strategy to attract co-workers to help recreate more slippers?  How do other plants and animals entice co-workers or mates to help ensure the continuation of their species into the future. Bring your cameras and/or binoculars or just beauty-loving eyes to witness this annual Spring show of Nature. Join docents Ann McInnis, Sheen and David Watkins in making discoveries about this amazing natural area of forested woodlands, open dunes, meadows, plantation, and even Houdek Creek & its wetland.
