Guided Nature Walk at Long Pond

Difficulty: Moderate/Easy

Appropriate for: All

Leader: Jeff Adams

About the Outing: We’ll focus on Plant ID and include some natural history and lore too. Most leaves are gone but there’ll still be lots to see. Branching patterns, Galls, Leaf Scars, persistent Fruits will help in our identification. Has your well run dry? Maybe we’ll see a plant used to help locate water? A plant whose root was once used to make rootbeer? And how about a tree used to help alleviate a cough?
