Enjoy the spectacular Fall wildflower bloom in the piney woods of Morningside Nature Center during a guided walk! The JEAN DORNEY MEMORIAL WILDFLOWER WALKS take place every Saturday in October and start at 9 a.m. at Morningside Nature Center, from the education building.

Wear comfortable walking shoes; bring water and field guides you would like to use. Admission is FREE! These walks are courtesy of a grant from the Friends of Nature Parks in honor of charter member Jean Dorney.

Jean, a Texas native, moved her family to Gainesville in 1972. She quickly became involved with the Alachua Audubon Society and was a founding member of Friends of Nature Parks. Through the years, Jean was an active advocate of adult education programs at the nature parks and participated in many wildflower walks and natural history classes.
