SUMMARY:Autumn Wildflower Walk
DESCRIPTION:Fries hosts fall wildflower walk\nSaturday\, August 31\, 2024 \nThe town of Fries will hold its second annual fall wildflower walk on Saturday\, August 31\, beginning at 9:30 a.m.\, to showcase more than two dozen spectacular flowering plant species.\nThere is no charge for admission and no registration required. Just show up. The tour begins on foot at the Fries Depot\, 510 Riverview Ave.\, Fries. That is the start of the New River Trail State Park\, where the tour takes place. \nThe wildflower walk will be led by local naturalist Ashley DeCarme\, who has worked for Virginia State Parks and Virginia’s Natural Heritage Program. She currently teaches science and technology at Grayson County High School\, and also leads the spring wildflower walks sponsored by the town of Fries. \nHer focus will be on plants that bloom in late summer and early fall\, and how each species is affected by both its physical environment and by other plants\, animals\, and human activities in the area. Featured plants will include evening primrose\, common sneezeweed\, frost aster and eastern prickly pear. \nThe pace will be leisurely\, with frequent stops. Organizers of the walk will supply a souvenir checklist for plant identification and reference.\nFor information contact Fries tourism at friesevents@gmail.com or 276-235-9294.
