Ft. Mitchell Highland Cemetery is one of the best locations in Northern Kentucky for viewing a multitude of early spring wildflowers. Three lakes, hundreds of large trees, waterfalls, and streams make it both geologically and botanically interesting. Cincinnati Wildflower Preservation Society member Rob Repasky will direct this moderately easy walk.

Directions: From Interstate 75 going north, take Exit 188 (Ft. Mitchell, Dixie Highway South) and turn south off the exit onto Dixie Highway; go about 0.4 mile and turn left into the cemetery. Its white gates are directly across from Kroger and Expressway Plaza Shopping Center. Take all right turns after you enter the cemetery. You will pass a lake on the right and see a parking lot at the trailhead where we’ll meet. The cemetery address is 2167 Dixie Highway, Fort Mitchell.

Join Beverly James, Floracliff Preserve Director, as she leads us through uplands and gorges in the palisades region of the Kentucky River on our first field trip of the year. We will search for brave, early bloomers such as the lovely snow trillium (Trillium nivale), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), cut-leaf toothwort (Cardamine concatenata), sharp-lobed hepatica (Anemone acutiloba) and others. Wear sturdy shoes on this two mile walk which is rated moderate to difficult due to steep, uneven terrain. There is a suggested donation of $10 per person. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so forms and donations can be collected.
