We will meet in front of the Golf Pro Shop at 4:00 pm. Participants will receive a Green Day patch upon completion. \nThe Green Day Hike patch is a small\, round\, Kelly green keepsake with a white embroidered shamrock.\nThe shamrock\, a trifolium\, is an accepted word from an Irish word for clover. Park naturalists chose a shamrock rather than a four-leaf clover for the patch because a shamrock is a sorrel (Oxalis) and it grows mostly in the shady soil of the woods\, near rocks\, on mossy banks and pretty much anywhere there is some moisture. Sorrels are possible to find on a trail\, roadway and backyards. \nShamrocks are associated with St. Patrick\, Irish and other lore\, a symbol of empowerment and pride\, and medicinal purposes. So\, feel free to deck out in your favorite St. Patrick’s day bling. The Naturalists will also hand out green beads before the hike. \nFor more information contact Julie McQuade at 304-466-1800 ext. 344. \nReserve lodging online: \nBook Now
