For the March Second Saturdays event the Ameal Moore Nature Center educated visitors all about wildflowers! Between 11am-2pm visitors were invited to stop by the center for information on wildflowers, guided nature hikes, and nature based crafts. Our guided hikes were lead by center staff, UCR professor Dr. Michael Fugate, and UCR graduate student Camille Wendlandt.
- A disecting microscope and flower anatomy display for a close up look at wildflowers
- Visitors gather before the guided hike begins
- Visitors participate in making wildflowers
- Visitors make wildflower book marks
The center had a great time hosting the event and is always looking forward to connecting visitors with local scientists to further the conversation about Riverside and its impact on the environment! Join us next month on April 11 as we celebrate Earth Day!
