Wildflower Walk April 12 at Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center

Spring is a wonderful time of year to see native wildflowers starting to pop up from the forest floor, along roadsides, and even in our own backyards.

People who would like to learn more about Missouri’s spring wildflowers should register for the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) wildflower walk at Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center in Joplin. This free event will be from 10 a.m.- noon on April 12. Registration for this event is required. Please use the link below:

At this program, MDC Naturalist Jessie Ballard will go over native flower identification, then participants will take a walk along the Shoal Creek trails to see what wildflowers are in bloom. This mile-long hike is rated easy, but participants will encounter uneven terrain.
