National Trails Day Natural Areas Conservancy&New York Mycological Society

Join us on June, 6 for a National Trails Day guided walk along the nature trails at Forest Park!

The Natural Areas Conservancy (NAC) and New York Mycological Society (NYMS) will host a guided walk at Forest Park. During this walk we will share information about community forestry, forest ecology, mycology and how all these things relate to one another. This is an explorative walk, you are encouraged to interact with the forest and ask questions along the way.

We will conclude the event with an evaluation of mycological and botanical samples collected during the walk.

All ages are welcome. Attendees under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
