Shrubs, Lichens, and Plants of the Forest Floor with Molly Hale
June 4, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Come learn about the plants we see at eye level and at our feet. We’ll see hazelnuts, musclewood, hop hornbeam, trilliums, clubmosses, wild sarsaparilla, enchanter’s nightshade and lots more! Plus we’ll peek into the world of lichens, which are found growing on trees, soil, and rocks. This will be a slow 2- hour walk starting at the North Farms Road entrance. We will not be focusing on ferns because these are the subject of a walk on June 26 with Randy Stone. Molly Hale is a conservation ecologist who loves to share her enthusiasm for natural history with others.
