Spring blooms are here! Join professional botanist and WW guide Paige for a hike to learn how to spot and identify spring wildflowers native to Iowa! Take a leisurely hike through Yellow Banks Park in Polk Co. while learning to identify common Iowa forest spring ephemerals — or, wildflowers only here for a short time — and put your new identification skills to the test!

Is there anything more perfect than hiking with friends and then enjoying a pie picnic in a lilac arboretum? Absolutely not. Join us for a perfect spring Pike celebrating the beauty of blooming lilacs, the middle of spring, and perfect evenings! We’ll hike the trails of Ewing Park on Des Moines’s south side before enjoying a pie picnic after!

The spring forage-ables are starting to pop and we want to celebrate the edible gifts Mother Nature is providing! Join us for an incredibly delicious night of learning about wild greens, hands-on foraging and crafting a communal foraged dinner together in the woods!
