Lots of Wild Plants and A CAVE!! - Vlog

Let's take a short hike through Leonard Springs Nature Park and look at the loads of wild plants and the caves in the park. Leonard Springs Nature Park is just south of Bloomington and is a unique geological feature in southern Indiana. This park boasts waterfalls, caves, and a lot of native wild flowers, as well as a marshland that used to be a reservoir for the town of Bloomington. Along the hike we'll see plants like Solomon's Seal, Wild Ginger, Wild Comfrey, Dogbane, Ox Eye Daisy, Cattails, Blue Flag Iris, and more! We'll discuss things like taking care of Native ecosystems and how foragers can play a big role in that endeavor. We'll discuss some of the plants along the way and how the landscape was used by people in years past.
