Fall 2009 Indoor programs
WILDFLOWERS OF MONTANA from the BOB
MARSHALL WILDERNESS, BY NORMA HENDERSON (with member slide show)SEC
member Norma Henderson will share her photos of wildflowers taken on a
Sierra Club trip to the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana. This Wilderness
was established in 1964 and covers over 1,000,000 acres in NW Montana, not
far from Glacier National Park. It ranges in elevation from 4,000 to 9,000
feet. After Norma’s program we’ll have time for any member who wishes to
show a few slides. These are the old-fashioned slides in a tray that many of
us must have stashed in our closets. Why not pull out a few for us to enjoy
Sunday November 1, 2:00 pm SPIDERS
IN YOUR GARDEN BY CARYLE SPENCE
Some people think the only good spider is a dead spider. Join us for this
program where SEC member Caryle Spence will prove otherwise. She will share
her wonderful photographs of spiders, most of them taken right in her
backyard, while she explains their natural history. Is it a coincidence that
this is the day after Halloween?
Fall 2009 Outdoor programs
-
Sunday, October 25, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm.
FIELD TRIP Belle Isle’s Oak Wetland Forest
cosponsored by the Stewardship Network.
The Michigan Natural Features Inventory has recently described a new forest
community within the state—wet-mesic flatwoods—that are found primarily on
southeastern Michigan’s glacial lakeplain. As this area was settled early in
Michigan’s history, few examples remain, although several survive in urban
parks. Join leaders Allen Chartier & Suzan Campbell at the Belle Isle Nature
Zoo for a walk in Belle Isle’s woods, where you’ll see Shumard oak,
shellbark hickory, wahoo, and a few surviving pumpkin ash.
Winter 2010 Indoor Programs

Heritage Park is located at on the west side of Farmington Road between 10 and

free parking just outside the door. Join us this fall and bring a friend.
Refreshments will be provided after each program. Come early or stay late and
visit the nature center or hike the paved trails in the park. See the link
below for a map.
