Join our nature interpreters for a stroll along the trails of Morningside Nature Center and learn about our amazing native wildflowers. The Jean Dorney Memorial Wildflower Walks are free and take place every Saturday in October from 9-10:30 a.m. They start at the education building at Morningside Nature Center. Wear comfortable walking shoes; bring water and any field guides you would like to use. These walks are courtesy of a grant from the Friends of Nature Parks in honor of charter member Jean Dorney.
Jean, a Texas native, moved her family to Gainesville in 1972. She quickly became involved with the Alachua Audubon Society, and was a founding member of Friends of Nature Parks. Through the years, Jean was an active advocate of adult education programs at the nature parks and participated in many wildflower walks and natural history classes.
