Elusive
Puttyroot Hike with DCP
Join Darke County Parks for their spring hiking series as they explore
the sensations of spring. On Tuesday, May 17th at 6pm join a naturalist
at Eidson Woods Preserve on the corner of State Route 502 West and
Palestine-Union City Road to search for the Puttyroot orchid. It is the
only wild blooming orchid in Darke County, and hopefully the hike will
coincide with its bloom. Who knows what the season’s weather will
bring, so keep the conditions in mind when you dress for the hike. For
more information about this or any of the other exciting hikes in this
season’s series or other Park District programs, please call the Nature
Center at (937) 548-0165.
