that have already begun singing. * Spring Wildflowers: Saturday, May 11, 2 p.m. This is a
wildflower walk where an abundance of beautiful blooms
should be evident. Guides will observe, identify and discuss
some natural history and folklore about the wildflowers
encountered along the trail. * Birding For Beginners Saturday, May 25, 9 a.m. Bird
watching begins at the visitor center and branches out from

you have them. Limited to 25 people. There is no fee for these programs, although advance
registration is required. To make reservations, call the
Discovery Center at 734-475-3170. A State Park motor vehicle
