The community of plants that grow on the sandstone outcrops along the trail to Piney Point, including the rare elf orpine, is a special one. Meet Sewanee Herbarium curator Yolande Gottfried at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, May 2, at the tennis courts at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, beyond the football field, for this moderate one-to-two-hour walk.
Wear appropriate shoes. Risks involved in hiking include physical exertion, rough terrain, forces of nature and other hazards not present in everyday life. Picking flowers and digging plants are prohibited in all of the natural areas where these walks take place.
For more information call the Herbarium, 598-3346, or email <ygottfri@sewanee.edu>.
Directions are available on the Herbarium website, <lal.sewanee.edu/herbarium/, under the calendar of events.
