Upcoming program - Oct 27

Hello,

See you on Saturday when we learn about seeds, spores and go on a fall mushroom hike!

Program information:This is the time of year when plants are closing down, dying back, and sending out seeds for next year. We will take a hike to explore these interesting processes, collect some seeds and hopefully enjoy some good fall weather! Discover what sort of seed packages plants produce and how they disperse them.
