Join acclaimed naturalist Lynn Levine for a day of learning all about ferns! Author of the award-winning guide Identifying Ferns the Easy Way: A Pocket Guide to Common Ferns of the Northeast, Lynn will begin this one-day course with an indoor introduction to ferns – incredible plants which have survived four mass extinctions. After a short break for lunch, we’ll head outside in search of ferns to observe and identify. Although we won’t be hiking far, it will be on uneven ground.

10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Harris Center and local field sites. Rain date: July 28.

Cost: $40 for Harris Center supporters / $60 for all others
