What’s going on at Dunbar Cave
By Dunbar Cave State Natural Area | May 30, 2009 | 
What’s going on at Dunbar Cave is an occasional piece written by Park Interpreter Amy Wallace
We did our last school group yesterday. It was a fun time, considering we had to slog through four to five inches of mud to get through the first room of the cave. The heavy rain we had the weekend of Mother’s Day flooded the first room of the cave and halfway into the first passageway, depositing sticky slippery clay mud. On that Saturday morning, the water was up to chin height (estimate, we didn’t wade in to see exactly how high it was).

Tromping through the woods at the Dunbar Cave State Natural Area
By Dunbar Cave State Natural Area | April 23, 2009 |

Many flowers are blooming – more and more every year. The best right now are the Fire Pink, bright red splashes of color on the hillside above the lake; Dwarf Crested Iris, the small blue and yellow flowers that grow in patches on the hillside, patches that are getting larger every year; and the Violet Wood Sorrel, lavender trumpets with a yellow throat and leaves which look like shamrocks. This is a great year for the wood sorrel, it seems to be everywhere. We also have shooting star, larkspur, and spring beauty, among others.
Of course, things change every day – I swear that there were flowers out in the afternoon that were not there in the morning. Most of our flowers are more plentiful every year (as long as no one picks them) – some have disappeared, either due to habitat change or human destruction, but those are the minority. «Read the rest of this article»
