In hopes of finding the unique first flower of spring, the Pocahontas Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society will lead a walk at Dorey Park to look for eastern skunk cabbage. It can be found even with snow on the ground because it generates heat and melts the surrounding snow. Another good indicator of its presence is the sulfur-like odor it emits, thus the name skunk cabbage. Anyone with an interest in native landscape is welcome, from novice to expert. The approximately 90-minute walk is free and will start at 2 p.m. but participants are asked to arrive by 1:50 p.m. To register, contact trip leader Leslie Allanson at 335-5866 or leleorr4@gmail.com.
