Yellow Island Wildflower Tour
Posted May 14, 2013 at 5:31 am by Tim Dustrude
Join us in a celebration of wildflowers for a trip to Yellow Island, on Sunday, May 19. Yellow Island, managed by the Nature Conservancy since 1979, is covered with more than fifty species of wildflowers. Many of these plants can be seen on other San Juan Islands; however, with Yellow Island’s open fescue meadows and the absence of resident grazing animals, there are more dense and diverse populations of these plants. For detailed information about the island, see www.nature.org and search for “Yellow Island”.
The tour will depart Shipyard Cove on The Pintail at 10:00 am, and will return at approximately 3:00 pm. To purchase tickets, please call the Historical Museum at 378-3949, or online at www.sjmuseum.org/events. Will call tickets can be picked up at the dock on the day of the event. Tickets are $20 per person, and will be limited by boat capacity.
For more information please call the museum at 378-3949 or visit www.sjmuseum.org/events
Proceeds for this trip will benefit the San Juan Historical Museum.
