Michigan Nature association's Rachel Maranto led a tour of the excellent fen prairie at Goose Creek Nature Sanctuary.
Ten JAS members and 5 MNA members and staff walked the "deer trail" on this cloudy but mild morning. Rachel had promised some fringed gentians would be in bloom and she was right.
In addition to those, we also saw a variety of goldenrods, Ladies' Tresses, Green Milkweed, and Turtlehead.
