There are 350 species (and counting) of plants in the Old Forest, and now you can identify them! Browse the field guide, or use the tags on the left to search by bloom time, establishment, flower color, plant type, or taxonomy. Click each entry for more photos and information about each plant.
Most of these plants were documented as part of a 2009 floristic study conducted by Tom Heineke. This field guide represents the final species list of that inventory, as well as additional flora and fauna recorded by Overton Park Conservancy's team. Many of the photos in this guide were taken right here in the Old Forest by OPC's Melissa McMasters.
