Celebrate wildflowers during a trip to Yellow Island on Sunday, May 19. The island, managed by the Nature Conservancy since 1979, is covered with more than 50 species of wildflowers.

Many of these plants can be seen on other San Juan Islands; however, with Yellow Island’s open fescue meadows and the absence of resident grazing animals, there are more dense and diverse populations of these plants.

For detailed information about the island, see www.nature.org and search for “Yellow Island.”

The tour will depart Shipyard Cove in Friday Harbor on The Pintail at 10 a.m. and will return at 3 p.m.

To purchase tickets or for more information, call the Historical Museum at 378-3949, or online at www.sjmuseum.org/events.
