Trillium cernuum (Nodding Trillium),

On Saturday June 6, 2026 from 10 am – 12 pm join Joe Kroger at Caratunk Wildlife Refuge in Seekonk, MA.  Joe Kroger, Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s naturalist of the year in 2024, has 40 years of experience at Caratunk Wildlife Refuge.  We will look  for some plants of concern, notably nodding trillium, begonias, and baneberry, in addition to the usual suspects.

Joe also leads the bird program at Caratunk as well, so he can lead us along the blue bird trail too. With nearly 200 acres of fields, forests, streams, and ponds, Caratunk offers miles of well-marked, easy to moderate trails, making it one of Audubon’s most popular properties.

Free and open to the public.
