Orchids in the Pine Barrens

Grass pink, rose pagonia, white fringed orchids…deep in the Pine Barrens of NJ, orchids are blooming!  We won’t have to search for these showy and finicky flowers – Russell Juelg, from the New Jersey Conservation Foundation will guide us right to them. During a 1.5 hour walk, we will visit multiple spots along the Batso River as Russell shares the natural history of the various species of orchids and other blooming flowers we find. Note: wear rubber boots or old shoes – the terrain will be uneven and potentially wet. Buy lunch.
