Monclova Sand Pits – [CANCELED]

[CANCELED]

(This lesser known area of Oak Openings Metropark has plenty to offer in the way of flora as well as fauna. Blooming Yellow-eyed Grass, Colic Root, club mosses, Sundews, and Milkwort are some of the plants we should find. Dragonflies and butterflies abound, as well as many other interesting insects including the Antenna-waving Wasp. Bring mosquito repellent and footwear appropriate for walking (briefly) through poison ivy at the entrance gate. Meet trip leader Elliot Tramer at the Buehner Nature Center, Oak Openings Metropark at 9:00 a.m.)
