Wildflowers & Ramps Festival - April 18, 2026

Tiptoe through the trilliums and celebrate spring in the Appalachian Forest with a day full of activities for all ages and interests.

The popular WV Ramp 5K (Run/Walk) fundraiser is back! A rugged scenic course winds past rushing streams, wildflowers, and ramps! We also have a 1-mile Fun Run challenge course for those who want the thrill of the trail without wandering too far into the woods.

Advance registration is recommended: https://givebutter.com/ramp-5k

Thanks to support from the Cal Price Appalachian Enrichment Series, we are offering a free basket-making workshop. This 3/4 hour experience will result in a hand-made treasure. Register to secure your spot — spaces and supplies are limited. https://square.link/u/JNfBbE1r

We’ll be dishing out homemade Ramp Pizza and salad for lunch!🍕

Shop for native plants, courtesy of Appalachian Headwaters, and local goods from Mountain Medicine Trail partners.🌿
