Heritage Center sponsoring wildflower walk April 22
Western Carolina University’s Mountain Heritage Center will celebrate the spring season by sponsoring a wildflower walk for families from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 22.
Local wildflower expert Dona West will lead the walk at Pinnacle Park, located on Fisher Creek Road near Sylva. Participants will observe the early- to mid-spring wildflowers native to the forests of Western North Carolina.
To reach Pinnacle Park, drive north from Sylva on Skyland Drive, turn left onto Fisher Creek Road, and drive about three miles to the end of the pavement, then straight ahead into the small unpaved parking area. The entrance to the parking area could pose a problem for low-clearance vehicles.
Part of the museum’s “Nature’s Tracks” series, the program is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. To register or for more information, call the Mountain Heritage Center at (828) 227-7129.
