SUMMARY:Spring Grove Cemetery - Early Spring Wildflowers
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Early Spring Wildflowers & Blooms \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum \nDate: Easter Sunday\, April 9th\, 2023 \nMeet: At 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery. Park along the main road\, just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue (see directions below). \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nNote that this trip will be held on Easter Sunday. Spring Grove Cemetery is one of Cincinnati’s most beautiful natural settings and its designation as an arboretum is well deserved. A tremendous diversity and number of native and ornamental plants can be found here. The focus of this field trip will be on early spring wildflowers and blooms\, but birds\, as well as all other aspects of nature will not be ignored. Over the years our trip leader\, Denis Conover\, has become our go to guy when botany is the theme of our field trips and we are fortunate to have him share his knowledge with us. Denis is a professor in the department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati and has been involved in various types of botanical research since 1981. Denis also has a great interest in birds and will equally focus on them. Denis is also a board member of our local Audubon Society. I think it is also safe to say that Spring Grove Cemetery is among Denis’s favorite places. \nDenis’s plan is to take us on a long leisurely early spring Easter Sunday walk through the cemetery observing what will be abundant signs of early spring. Denis will also show us an undeveloped forested section of the cemetery that should be carpeted with woodland wildflowers. Native plants\, ornamental plantings\, invasive species\, budding shrubs and trees and birds (resident and early spring migrants) will all be pointed out\, identified and discussed.  Other than a short drive here or there to move to a different part of the grounds\, participants should be prepared for a few hours of being on foot and moderate walking. Much of the walking will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there are a few low hills and there will also be some walking in damp or wet grass. We suggest wearing comfortable waterproof footwear. Binoculars are necessary to see birds well. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office. If you have any questions feel free to contact Denis. \nDirections: The Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum main entrance is located at 4521 Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in the Spring Grove Avenue main gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel (old RR archway). Just beyond the tunnel pull over and park alongside the road and look for Denis. \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/ \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \nhttps://assets.takeshape.io/af54a46e-9d1d-4a13-84ea-ea820654ba30/dev/66f7f564-13e7-4da3-9599-d5fc44c9d764/Spring%20Grove%20Cemetery%20and%20Arboretum%20Map.pdf
