KNPS Field Trip to Mammoth Cave

On Saturday, September 6th, KNPS members Steve Kistler and Carol Friendman led 16 participants on a rainy hike through prairie restoration areas in Mammoth Cave National Park. HIghlights included Cut-Leaf Prairie Dock (Silphium pinnatifida), Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum), Monkeyflower (Mimulus sp.), and Wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia). Participants also identified the birds, butterflies, and fungi in the area.

Each year KNPS organizes field trips to explore Kentucky’s natural areas. Trip leaders are knowledgeable about the area being explored and the native plants and plant communities that are found in that area.

For the best experience and to protect sensitive plant habitats, the number of participants in the field trips will usually be limited. Because of this, pre-registration will be required for all trips. Registration forms will be made active 30 days before each trip.

We hope you can join us and experience the beauty and diversity of Kentucky’s native plant communities.
