Guided Walk with Natural Areas Conservancy & New York Mycological Society
The Natural Areas Conservancy (NAC) and New York Mycological Society (NYMS) will host a guided walk along the nature trails at Highbridge Park. This walk will be led by NAC Senior Manager, Conservation Science, Helen Forgione, NYMS President, Sigrid Jakob and another NYMS expert, who will share information about community forestry, forest ecology, mycology and how all these things relate to one another. This is an explorative walk, you are encouraged to interact with the forest and ask questions along the way. This is the same event as was originally planned for September, but rescheduled due to inclement weather.
We will conclude the first portion of the event at around 12pm, but all are welcome to remain until we close out the event around 3pm, with an evaluation of mycological and botanical samples collected during the walk.
