Wildflower season is here!
Once again, we are going to have have an excellent display of spring wildflowers! As you explore the park and take photos of the colorful blooms that you see, please post your sightings to iNaturalist. (Thank you to those of you who have already started!)
By doing so, you will help in documenting the variety of species being seen in the Usery Mountain Recreation Area this year, along with where and when. This helps others know which areas of the park are currently putting on a show! This data is also extremely valuable in long-term monitoring efforts to determine if drought, wildfires, and changes to climate conditions have an affect on the survival and life cycle timing of plant species in the area.
