Description
Today we are looking for ferns to identify with the help of BTC Ecologist Mara McHaffie.
THis are is diverse and has some wet areas so hopefully we will find some interesting plants. THis is a slow paced look and learn hike. This will be a good opportunity for hikers to collect some of the requirements of the TBTC Naturalist badge. Please bring a light lunch or snacks and lots of water . Cameras and the iNaturalist app on your phone will be handy to record what we are going to see. Last fall I saw some rather interesting fungi in this area too.
This hike will go rain or shine, so dress for the weather.
