Winter Ecology Walk - Black Rock Forest Consortium
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/17/2022
Walk with Terryanne Maenza-Gmelch, PhD (Barnard College, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science) to explore Black Rock Forest’s December botanical and avian treasures!
Take a moment to brush up on your botanical Latin as we look for evergreen plants like Mitchella repens, Polystichum acrostichoides, Gaultheria procumbens, bryophytes, lycopods and more, in addition to the winter resident birds. We will walk from Mailley’s Mill Bridge to the Upper Reservoir and back and then onto Sibyl’s Path for some Polypodium virginianum and lichens. Load the free Merlin Bird ID app on your phone. See you there.
