Learn Your Ferns with Randy Stone

June 24, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Ever wonder if you might be susceptible to fernophilia? Join Randy Stone of the Pioneer Valley Fern Society for a walk through the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area, finding common ferns and club mosses of our area.  Learn the key features for easy identification of our “top 10” native ferns and maybe some uncommon ones too.  Start creating a list of ferns of Fitzgerald Lake!  Bring a hand lens if you have one.  Wear clothing appropriate for possible encounters with poison ivy, insects including ticks, or muddy ground.
