Join us on the 8th at Uncommon Grounds in Queensbury for an afternoon of native plant-focused fellowship!

The endangered Karner blue butterfly has two broods every year. The first brood emerges in late May and the second brood in early July. On a guided walk through the meadows, learn about the Saratoga Sand Plains ecosystem on which this animal thrives, and how it became endangered.

For Wild Ones Southern Adirondacks Registered Members: 

We'll be taking a carpool field trip to Dawn’s Wild Things Rescue Nursery, the biggest nursery in our region that specializes in native plants! As the nursery is in Valley Falls NY, a 1-hour drive southeast of Queensbury, NY, this is an opportunity to take an economical road trip with your fellow native plant enthusiasts to visit this hidden gem. 

We ask attendees to pack a lunch, snacks, and drinks. Dawn accepts cash and cards for purchases at the nursery.
