Masks required; the walk will observe social distancing; limited to ten participants.

Ferns on the forest floor -- we see them throughout the Rensselaer Plateau but know little about their secret lives. Learn to identify the large variety of our local ferns. Tom Phillips, botanist and student of all things fern-like, will lead us through the varied habitats of the Community Forest to discover these fascinating and beautiful plants. Bring a magnifying loop if you have one.

Masks are required; social distancing will be observed; hand sanitizer is recommended. Meet at the parking lot at the Albert Family Community Forest at the end of Hayes Road off of Route 66 in Nassau.

Sponsored by the Rensselaer Land Trust and the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance.
