Glen Jean, WV — Spring is here and so is the 16th Annual New River Gorge Wildflower Weekend, April 26-28. 2019. Guided hikes with rangers and naturalists, nature hot spots, and the arts highlight the glories of the season at New River Gorge National River, Tamarack, and the West Virginia state parks of Babcock, Carnifex Ferry Battlefield, Hawks Nest, Pipestem Resort, and Twin Falls Resort. Add to the weekend and build your naturalist skills at a WV Master Naturalist course or photography workshop beyond this event. Enjoy the Youth Arts in the Parks 2019 Appalachian Spring Wildflower Art Exhibit on display at Tamarack in Beckley through May 6, 2019 too.
