WVU Core Arboretum Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks, Week 2 - April 12, 2026

We are very excited to share WVU Core Arboretum’s spectacular old-growth forest and its spring ephemeral wildflowers with the public again this year. Mark your calendars for the WVU Department of Biology Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walks! These free, guided walks will take place on all Sundays in April at 12:00, 12:30, 3:00, and 3:30. Free online registration is requested to keep group sizes reasonable. Please use this link to register: https://wvuarboretumflowerwalks2026.eventbrite.com. More information is available in the registration link. More tours may be added to the calendar, depending on the availability of volunteer guides. Groups wishing to schedule a group tour outside of this schedule or people wishing to become volunteer guides should contact Zach Fowler, Arboretum Director, at zfowler@mail.wvu.edu. People are always welcome to visit and see the flowers on their own, too, and there will be information at the kiosk about how to find the flowers and identify the ones you find. Do not miss the flowers this year! Last year, more than 45 species of plants were seen in bloom over the course of the wildflower walks.
