SUMMARY:Field Trip: Spring Creek Parkway
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Location:  Spring Creek Parkway Trailhead (Spring Creek Parkway Trailhead at 59 in Google Maps) on the west side of US 59/I 69 in Humble\, Texas (GPS: 30.02581\, -95.263713) \n\n\n\nThings To Bring: We will likely wander off trail\, so boots/closed toe shoes and bug spray recommended. Please bring adequate hydration and other items you may require to be comfortable. We will be in full sun portions of the time\, so dress appropriately. \n\n\n\nField Trip Overview: This portion of the Spring Creek trail is situated on an old Spring Creek depositional feature and contains deep sands. We will walk and look for openings in the forested portions of the trail for areas that contain bluejack oak (Quercus incana)\, post oak (Q. stellata)\, tropic croton (Croton glandulosa)\, Reverchon’s spiderwort (Tradescantia reverchonii)\, slender scratch daisy (Croptilon divaricatum)\, viperina (Zornia bracteata) and other deep sand specialists. We will then walk off trail to seepage slopes dominated by netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata)\, royal fern (Osmunda regalis)\, and Kunth’s maiden fern (Thelypteris kunthii). This area also contains some other interesting species such primrose-leaved violet (Viola primulifolia)\, greater marsh St. Johnswort (Hypericum walteri)\, and several uncommon sedges (Carex and Eleocharis species). We will then explore some floodplain/bottomland forested communities dominated by bald cypress (Taxodium distichum)\, water oak (Q. nigra)\, willow oak (Q. phellos)\, cherrybark oak (Q. pagoda)\, American elm (Ulmus americana)\, green ash (Fraxinus pennslyvanica)\, and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Two-winged silverbell (Halesia diptera) should be in full bloom in the understory. It is also one of the only places Andy knows were to find tung oil tree (Vernicia fordii) growing wild in Harris County. \n\n\n\nAdditional Site Information: https://www.bayoulandconservancy.org/spring-creek-greenway \n\n\n\nAdditional Coordination Details: Please contact Bob Romero for any further coordination details atbobromero@gmail.com or by phone at 713.248.6030. \n\n\n\n\nClick here to register!
