SUMMARY:Early Spring Botanical & Bird Walk at Spring Grove Cemetery with Denis Conover
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Early Spring Botanical & Bird Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery \nDate: Sunday\, March 16\, 2025 \nMeet: 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery\, along the road just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nMarch can have tricky weather. As the old adage states\, “March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb”. Chances are good that signs of early spring will be present\, if not abundant. Some species of plants are already beginning to bud at this season and according to our trip leader\, Denis Conover\, there should already be a few spring wildflowers popping up. Regardless of the weather\, Denis\, our regular Spring Grove leader\, will focus on whatever nature brings us. Snow will not cancel this field trip. Severe weather of course would cancel the trip. If you are unsure at the time\, don’t hesitate to contact Denis. Denis has become our designated ASO field trip leader for our monthly field trip to Spring Grove Cemetery. He is a UC biology professor an ASO Board Member and an expert botanist and naturalist. And he loves Spring Grove and knows it as well as anyone. \nAs always\, Denis will take us on a walk through the beautiful cemetery grounds and point out the diverse botanical community and seasonal birds found at Spring Grove Cemetery. Denis will identify the tremendous diversity of trees\, shrubs\, and other plants that can be found here and expound on their ecology. He will also point out our native flora\, invasive species\, and ornamental plantings as well as show us some of the champion trees found here. Denis has interests in all aspects of natural history and he will be sure to point out the birds and other fauna we are sure to see. So come along and join Denis on what hopefully will be a pleasant early spring morning walk and gain some tips and insight into plant identification and their natural history as well as winter resident and early spring migrant birds.  \nParticipants should be prepared for a few hours of steady walking\, most of which will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there will also be some walking off pavement on trails or in wet grass or possibly snow. This will be a three to four hour leisurely walk but you can always end your walk whenever you like. Denis is always willing to stay later if anyone wants to go longer. We suggest wearing good waterproof footwear and dress for cold temperatures. Binoculars are not necessary to see plants but are recommended if you have them\, or want to see birds clearly. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office. \nDirections: The Spring Grove Cemetery main entrance is located on Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in through the main entrance gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel. Just beyond the tunnel pull over and park on the right side of the road. \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nSpring Grove Website \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \nSpring Grove Map
