Thanks to all for supporting William B. Umstead State Park. 

The Umstead Coalition would like to extend a special thank-you to Dr. Walton and his family who have allowed us to hold this event in his private meadow for 19 years! Dr. Walton passed away on April 3, 2012. We will miss him dearly.

This year's t-shirt features the Jack-in-the Pulpit, Arisaema triphyllum. A common plant of moist wood areas in William B. Umstead State Park, flowering from early spring until June. The fruit ripens in July, and in late summer the leaves frequently wither and die, leaving the stalks of bright-red berries conspicuous objects in the woods.  Celebrate "The year of the Wildflowers" in YOUR State Park!

The T-shirts will be available for sale at the Park Visitor Center
