Take an in-depth look at Tryon Creeks’ geology, plants, history, and more!

Join a volunteer park naturalist for a walk in Tryon Creek State Natural Area. Topics will vary from week to week and the program theme will be aimed at more complex content geared toward adults and youth ages 12 and up. Walking distances will average 2 miles.

This Sunday we will briefly review the nutrient cycling roles of most visible fungi in the forest, before then turning to focus on mycorrhizal fungi and the inter-species networks that they can form between trees. (Please note that this is not a hike to learn about edible mushrooms).

Space is limited, REGISTER HERE.
