Join us for this free program about the Orchids that call Boulder Lake Management Area home and why orchids are important:

As bioindicators, orchids tell us much about the health of an ecosystem, both above and below the surface of the ground.  The orchids in the BLELC area come in many forms and are found in habitats as diverse as forests, wetlands, fens, swamps, stream banks, and pine barrens.  As plants that take years to fully develop, the rich presence of orchids is an indication of undisturbed lands within a diverse, healthy, and functioning ecosystem.
