Team members at Roaring River State Park invite the public to a free Wildflower Workshop from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 2. This workshop will be an educational study of native wildflowers in various habitats found throughout the park. Park team members will discuss basics in identification and then move into historical and medicinal uses, as well as wild edibles.
Expect to hike along several park trails during the workshop. The event will begin at the Ozark Chinquapin Nature Center. Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather, bring water and a camera and wear sturdy shoes and insect repellent.
Registration is required for this workshop. Those interested can get more information or register for this program by calling the nature center at 417-847-3742.
The public is strongly encouraged to follow social-distancing guidelines and be proactive in protecting themselves and others.
Roaring River State Park is located 7 miles south of Cassville on Highway 112 in Barry County.
