Description
Last September Mara McHaffie a staff ecologist from the BTC and I led a very successful fern Id hike and are going to do another one this fall. This is a very slow paced ""look and learn" kind of hike. There is lots of opportunity for photographs and questions. The section we are going to view this year is a well travelled part of the trail and has quite a variety of vegetation. I have not counted the ferns I have seen already this season but maybe we will go beyond the 12 or 13 varieties we found last year. THis hike will go rain or shine so come dressed for any weather. Bring water and snacks.
