As Spring unfolds, the land reveals much to witness and celebrate. On this nature walk, take time to read the land for signs of the changing seasons: bursting buds, birdsong, buzzing bees, and spring ephemerals—the inconspicuous early bloomers that serve as vital sources of nectar and pollen for native insects. We'll keep an eye out for these fascinating plants while enjoying all the other highlights of this season of awakening. Program Preparation Adults and children 10+ are welcome to attend. Please dress for the weather and bring water. This class is entirely outdoors. Participants should expect to be traveling about 2-3 miles on pavement, gravel, or flat trails for the full duration of the class. Meet in front of the Farm Barn Orientation Center for check-in. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the start of class. We cannot accommodate late arrivals and the class will depart on time.

Led by Dorothy Smullen, Teacher/Naturalist. Celebrate Earth Day afternoon getting to know the lichens which are all around us in cities, suburbs, and forests, but we hardly notice them. This workshop will cover their diversity, importance in history and to animals, and their role as indicators of air pollution. Hands-on identification of the three major groups and some common lichens will precede a trail walk. This is a perfect workshop for anyone who loves the outdoors. COST: $15 members, $20 nonmembers. One person per ticket. Ticket sale ends 4/21 at 4:00 PM. You must pre-register, walk-ins will not be allowed to participate.
