The Great Northern Bloom: A Spring Ephemeral Hike
2026-05-15 11:00 - 12:00 | Raven Hill Discovery Center, 4737 Fuller Road, East Jordan, MI, 49727, United States
A Spring Wildflower Walk with Sarah Koetje and Sarah Mayhew
Raven Hill invites participants to join the educators of Little Big: Nature & Adventure‑Based Learning for an immersive wander through the awakening hardwood forests of Northern Michigan. As the last traces of snow melt into the soil, a hidden world emerges—spring ephemerals, the early‑rising wildflowers that define our region’s transition into spring.
This program offers a chance to slow down and notice the small, fleeting wonders of the forest floor—often called the “miracles in the mulch”—that appear only briefly each year before the forest canopy fills in.
What to Expect:

A slow‑paced, observational hike focused on noticing early spring wildflowers
Exploration of rolling terrain beneath budding beech and maple trees
Guidance from experienced outdoor educators who will help identify and interpret wildflowers and forest ecology
Time to observe, photograph, sketch, or journal discoveries
A relaxed, curiosity‑driven experience with opportunities for conversation and quiet noticing

Depending on seasonal timing, participants may encounter:

Spring Beauty – tiny white‑to‑pink flowers with distinctive “peppermint” stripes
Yellow Trout Lily – mottled leaves and nodding yellow blooms near damp areas
Large‑Flowered Trillium – the iconic three‑petaled white star of Michigan woodlands
Dutchman’s Breeches – whimsical white blossoms resembling tiny pantaloon

Terrain:

Damp, softly packed trails
Uneven ground with light inclines
Conditions may be muddy depending on weather and thaw timing

What to Bring:

Waterproof boots or sturdy shoes that can get muddy
A camera and/or field journal to document your discoveries
Weather‑appropriate layers for spring conditions

Cost includes $10 admission to museum!
