It's a mystery plant

#2 - We had so much fun with the first Mystery Plant contest we thought we would do it again! This new sprout is enjoying the sunlight. Do you know what plant it is? Be the first to guess the plant and win an Alpine nature T-shirt!
And the winner is Sylvia Buck, who was the first to correctly identify this plant as the Arrowleaf Balsamroot! There was a flurry of correct guesses but the first was from Sylvia! Congratulations!

MILES OF TRAILS
|
Ever wonder how many miles of trails are in Lambert Park? So have we! The Alpine Nature Center has made it its mission to count every mile of trail in the park using GPS mapping and walking each trail individually. We thought it might be fun to sponsor a contest to see who can most correctly estimate exactly how many miles of trails there are in the park. Click here to find out who won the contest and how many miles there are!
