The Brooks Bird Club has had a long relationship with the WV Wildflower Pilgrimage.  The wildflower tours feature experts on plants, birds and other topics of interest.  The experienced bird leaders are all BBC members.  The Pilgrims not only come from West Virginia but from all across the United States.  All come to see, learn and enjoy the beauty of the wildflowers, birds and geology that's discovered on each of the many West Virginia Wildflower Pilgrimage tours. ​

The 63rd West Virginia Wildflower Pilgrimage ~ Blackwater Falls State Park ~ May 8th - 11th 2025 ~ Davis, WV

Featured workshops and programs include beginner’s wildflower workshop, beginning birding, and event related evening programs.
​Many different day tours are offered on both Friday and Saturday.  These guided day tours depart in the morning via personal vehicles.
​
During this celebration of the colorful arrival of wildflowers to the state's higher elevations, Blackwater Falls State Park will be used as a starting point for excursions into surrounding areas, including Germany Valley, Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Fernow Forest, Cathedral State Park, The Sinks of Gandy, Spruce Knob, Greenland Gap, Otter Creek, Blackwater River and other places of interest.
​
Specialists from various state universities, West Virginia DNR, West Virginia Garden Club and the Brooks Bird Club will be among those on hand to lead the tours, point out the flora and fauna, and to help answer questions.

The event averages 300 people from more than a dozen states each year and spaces are limited, so advance reservations are required.
                                                                                Registration is required and is fee-based

Lodging for the event is available but reservations should be made early to assure a place to stay overnight at the park. ​
The lodge at Blackwater State Park can fill up quickly.  Cabins and campsites are also available.
​ We are anticipating filling up even faster than usual this year.  ​
