Date:  Saturday, June 18 
Time:  10:00 a.m. - approx. 1:00  p.m.
Location:  Hone Quarry Reservoir (see map)

Limit: 15 people
Join Friends of Shenandoah Mountain and Master Naturalists for a summer wildflower and butterfly hike to see the many species of beautiful butterflies and wildflowers that make Shenandoah Mountain home. 

The leaders, John and Jeannie Holden, have been exploring the natural world of Shenandoah Mountain for decades. John is an avid hiker and has been a Virginia Master Naturalist for 12 years.  Jeannie is an accomplished and published Nature Photographer.
​
Home Quarry is one of the very best butterfly habitats in the region. It also has many species of summer wildflowers. Bring  a camera, and Jeannie will share techniques for the best wildflower photography. John will provide identification and talk about the treasures of nature on Shenandoah Mountain.

Bring binoculars, if you have them,.  Please dress for summer weather and bring plenty to drink in a day pack. Rainy weather would cancel the hike.

There is no charge for these nature hikes, as they are intended to draw public attention to the treasures of Shenandoah Mountain and the need to preserve its amazing natural world.

Questions:  Contact John Holden by email or phone:  434-973-9179
