Lichen Look About

Ever noticed the interesting crusty or leafy growths on tree bark and rocks? A naturalist will guide your family along the nature trails to discover lichens and mosses up close. Magnifying tools are provided so you can really see the details of these small but fascinating organisms. It's a hands-on way to explore something you might walk past every day without noticing. This program welcomes all ages and runs for about an hour and a half. Whether your kids are curious young explorers or you're looking for a nature activity that works for the whole family, this is a low-key way to learn about the natural world. If you have questions before heading out, the Nature Realm Visitors Center is happy to help—just call them during their regular hours.
