Summer wildflowers are in full bloom - fireworks in white, purple and yellow! And every flower has an amazing pollination story. Join community naturalist Dave Sutherland  for a leisurely hike to look for pollinating insects and the diversity of prairie flowers they frequent. The area burned extensively in December 2021 during the Marshall Fire so you can see how remarkably the prairie recovers from fire. Bring field guides, magnifying glasses, and close-focusing binoculars if you have them.

Where to meet: Meet at Davidson Mesa trailhead on McCaslin Blvd in Louisville. NOTE: Additional parking and a restroom are available at Harper Lake on the east side of McCaslin, connected to the Davidson Mesa Trailhead lot by a pedestrian underpass.
