Pilgrimage Schedule
50th Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage April 12-14, 2019 CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY, GEORGIA You are cordially invited to attend the Georgia Botanical Society’s 50th Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage April 12-14, 2019 to be headquartered in Clayton, GA with field trips nearby and in adjoining areas including the Carolinas. We had our 2012 Pilgrimage in Clayton. In 2019 some of the field trip sites will be the same, but this time we will be about three weeks earlier. This means we will focus more on lower elevation sites. The pilgrimage will consist of a Friday night social with light hors d'oeuvres, a Saturday banquet with a special program and more great food. And as usual, there will be our terrific field trips to some very special places located in the region. Nestled in the extreme northeastern corner of Georgia, the 377 square miles of Rabun County comprise only 5% of our state’s part of the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province. Sixty percent of the county is in public lands under the management of the US Forest Service or the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. This beautiful mosaic of scenic valleys, high rugged mountains, clear streams, and lush forests is attractive year round, but offers a special floristic bounty each spring. Pilgrimage Schedule Friday, APRIL 12 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Field trips will meet at various times and places. Please consult the description for your particular trip. 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Registration and social at The Diner, Rabun County Civic Center, located at 201 W. -
