12 August 2023 (Saturday) Dade Native Plant Workshop Field Trip

[Steve Woodmansee]

This Month will cap off our summer of exploration and we will meet on a Saturday and join the folks of the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society.  Location of workshop is an empty lot next to some Railroad tracks owned by Miami-Dade Water and Sewer and the meeting time is 4:30PM.  Location is at the intersection of SW 92^nd Avenue and SW 74^th Street.  This site is just south of Sunset Drive (SW 72^nd Street), and 92^nd Avenue can be accessed from the west or east (there is a traffic light).  Look for Steve’s big white pick-up truck.  This lot is full of remnant pine rockland and marl prairie wildflowers along with some common native lawnweeds and is a must see. Feel free to bring any plants in for identification. We may go for beers and wings afterwards.  You can follow me on Twitter at:  https://twitter.com/hobobotanist
