Get up close with nature as you explore life on, in, and under logs in the forest. Hands, magnifiers, and our senses are all used to explore how this “forest trash” is really a forest treasure.
Participants will investigate what makes fallen trees so important to so many forms of life in the forest, including living trees and soon-to-be trees (seeds)! Students will use a microscope to look at things they find on their hike!
Pre-registration and payment in advance are required. Fee: $8 member, $10 general public. Attendance is limited.
