Join Harris Center ecologist Nate Marchessault and the Monadnock Mushroom Club for a morning of collecting and learning along the Jaquith Rail Trail. We’ll split into groups and spend a few hours searching for mushrooms, then reconvene to identify our finds. Participants may choose to explore off-trail or stay on the wide, mostly flat rail trail. Bring a non-plastic bag or basket for collecting, and a lunch for an optional picnic afterward.

10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Jaquith Rail Trail in Hancock. Space is limited, and registration is required. For general information about Harris Center field trips, see our Outings Information page. For more information about this particular outing, including questions about accessibility, contact Nate.

Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education, the Monadnock Mushroom Club, and the Monadnock Bird and Nature Club.
