Join us as Jerry Reynolds, Head of Outreach, takes you on a virtual hike at Picture Creek Diabase Barrens. Museum staff have been leading field trips to this location for over 20 years, though you won’t find it on a map or in travel guides. Home to thousands of federally endangered Smooth Coneflowers that bloom every June, Picture Creek is truly a special place that requires an experienced guide to lead you. We can’t lead a field trip in person this year as we normally do, but we can lead you on a virtual field trip! Please join us on this natural escape to Picture Creek and learn about the efforts to restore it to its original natural state.
