2019 Fall AWS State
Meeting
November 1st-3rd at Cane Creek Preserve
The Fall Meeting of The Alabama Wildflower Society will be
in Tuscumbia on the weekend of November 1st, 2nd and 3rd (observe: no ball
games that weekend!) at CANE CREEK PRESERVE owned by Jim and Faye Lacefield.
The Preserve is a beautiful 700+ acres with deep overhangs, once housing native
Indians, and beautiful waterfalls. Our own Leon Bates and possibly Charles Rose
will be leading our hike. Some of this will be strenuous, but the Lacefield’s
have a vehicle that can take the handicapped among us to the bottom where the
walking is easy. Our dinner Saturday night will be at Coldwater Mill restaurant
at 6 PM where we will order from the menu. Anne will have copies of the menu at the front desk when you check in. This is directly across from The
Alabama Music Hall of Fame, and if you want to come early Friday this is a
wonderful site paying homage to all of our famous singers and songwriters. Our
speaker Saturday night will be Patrick Thompson, with the Alabama Plant
Conservation Alliance of the Donald E. Davis Arboretum. He will be speaking on
the conservation of the Georgia Aster which is in decline.
We have a block of
rooms at the Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham, located at 1852 Hwy 72 East,
Tuscumbia. 256-248-0055 or 256-320-4079. We have 10 double queen rooms ($80.00
plus tax) and 5 single rooms ($75.00 = tax). Cut off date is October 25th.
Please mention AWS.
Sunday, we will drive to The Dismals Canyon in Haleyville in Franklin County off Hwy 43. If you haven’t been there, it is a wonderful spot with large rock formations and more beautiful waterfalls.
Hope to see everyone there.
