April 2025
Spring Ephemerals Tour
Public Welcome Family-Friendly Free Event Nature Walk/Hike Free Public Parking Lots of Physical Activity
Our monthly program for April will be a special tour of the spring ephemerals at Fairmount Cemetery in Davenport!
Join Carolina as she leads us on a walking tour of the cemetery, which is actually a prairie remnant! For those who do not wish to walk the terrain, you will be able to drive through and view many species. Following the walking or driving tour, we will meet back together for a discussion on what we found and what will be blooming soon.
