Pasque Flower Hike

Pasque Flower Hike
Motor Mill Historic Site
Friday, April 10th @ 5 pm
Registration required

The Pasque flower is one of the earliest blooming wildflowers in Iowa, and a welcome sign that
a new growing season is underway. While relatively common in remnant prairies, this beautiful
little flower is rarely seen in Clayton County due to a loss of habitat, and the rugged terrain in
which the remaining populations are found.

Come and join Clayton County Conservation for a guided hike in search of this iconic species at
the Motor Mill Historic Site. We will meet in the campground at 5:00 PM before hiking
approximately half a mile up a nearby ridge to view this delicate prairie species. Participants
should come prepared for a fairly strenuous off-trail hike. Call the office to register.

The Motor Mill Historic Site is located at 23002 Grain Road, Elkader, IA. For more information
