- Additional Information
Lost Creek Forest has the largest population in Georgia of the endangered milkvine found in only three Southern states. Beth Grant and Scott Davis (noted milkweed and milkvine expert) will lead a leisurely walk in the forest to share information on this plant (hopefully) in bloom. Historically, the pollinator for these plants was a tiny fly but we have not seen any seedpods in over 10 years of looking! Where is the pollinator? We will attempt to hand pollinate and may also see some attractive moth caterpillars that use milkvine as their host plants.
