Join volunteer Siobhan Percey on the 2025 Annual Skunk Cabbage Swamp Stomp!  Eastern Skunk Cabbage is Maryland’s First Flower of the Year, blooming in January. This is but one of its fascinating characteristics. It is alleged to be over 72 million years old, changing little over that time. It is an extraordinary plant, possessing peculiarities found in few others. Siobhan is a Master Naturalist and Jug Bay’s resident Skunk Cabbage expert. There will be a virtual presentation on Thursday January 9th. On Saturday January 11th Siobhan will lead you on an off trail walk to visit this fascinating plant that lives along the swamp and wetland edges. Good footing is required. The terrain is on a hillside and navigation around or over some fallen trees is necessary. Hiking poles are welcome. Don’t forget your boots! Ages: 12 and up. $5 per person. No refunds. Space is limited and registration is required. To register go to www.jugbay.org Event Calendar and click on the event. A link will be sent to registered participants closer to the webinar date.
