2nd Annual Bluebell Festival at Merrimac Farm! April 11, 2009

Bring your family and friends on Saturday, April 11, to welcome spring and view the spectacular display of Virginia Bluebells that carpet the floodplain along Cedar Run for nearly a mile.

Events include a nature art show and naturalist-led tours to Cedar Run, where everyone can learn more about the birds, butterflies, frogs and other wildlife at Merrimac Farm.

A variety of Northern Virginia environmental organizations will provide displays, including opportunities to meet turtles and other wildlife up close and personal, and activities for children of all ages in the front yard of the Stone House.

This event is sponsored by the Merrimac Farm Conservation Partners: Prince William Conservation Alliance, Marine Corps Base Quantico and the Virginia Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries.
