Description

The March 31 and April 7 tour dates have been postponed due to weather. The new date is Thursday, April 14 from 2:30-4:30pm. Enjoy the gardens, forest, meadows, and stream at Woodend, headquarters of the Audubon Naturalist Society. We will take a leisurely walk to highlight the efforts we have taken to restore native biodiversity to this urban oasis. Native plant formal gardens, forest and meadow restoration, permeable trails, and a newly restored stream will all be explored during our walk.  Even if you took the Oasis tour last fall, there is plenty new to see.  Blooming trees, shrubs, and lots of wildflowers!

Participants are responsible for their own transportation. Woodend is located at 8940 Jones Mill Road, Chevy Chase, MD 20815. Bathrooms in the mansion will be available, as well as a composting toilet along our walk. We will primarily be walking on solid ground or mowed areas. The trail in the forest is wheelchair accessible.
