Plainfield Sanctuary

Join us for an off-trail adventure into a mixed northern hardwood-hemlock forest full of spring ephemerals on Native Plant Trust's 86-acre sanctuary adjacent to the Connecticut River in New Hampshire. Spot favorites such as bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) and red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) and discover rare plants such as large-flowered bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora), and green-dragon (Arisaema dracontium). The field study also addresses common invasives that threaten native plants and approaches for combating them. Please note: This moderate hike is intended for experienced hikers.

Please note: We do not make video or audio recordings of classes or programs available after the fact, because we believe education is interactive, with instructors and students building a community and culture of learning. Some programs may be recorded strictly for instructor-training purposes. Please visit this page to review this and other FAQs about our policies.
