This casual walk will go through several of the habitats in the Wildlife Sanctuary along the Little River and will focus on wildflowers, many of which will be in full bloom around this time. Both native and naturalized species will be observed with the possibility of seeing about 30 species. A field guide might be helpful to have but is certainly not necessary.Dave Lovejoy is a Professor Emeritus of Biology at Westfield State University and is Secretary of the Springfield Naturalists’ Club. He is the author of two local floras, Flora of Springfield (2008) and Flora of Forest Park (2022).
In a collaborative effort between Stanley Park and the Greater Westfield Community, eight Nature Workshops will be conducted in the 229-acre Wildlife Sanctuary* at Stanley Park this season. We hope you take advantage of these opportunities to enjoy nature’s beauty.
The walks and workshops are free and will meet at the main entrance sign to the Frank Stanley Beveridge Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary* located across from the recreation field unless otherwise noted. Walks will cancel if there is heavy rain, unless otherwise noted. Wear hiking attire, sturdy boots/shoes, bring water, your field guides, binoculars and camera if you wish.
