Whimsy and wild, moss to many of us as children meant fairies were afoot. Moss, however, is a gateway to much more than childhood fantasy; it's an extremely important organism that holds the story of the forest within its structure. Join an Ijams naturalist to rediscover the wonders of moss, learn how to identify different species, and understand its importance within the vast ecosystem.
