Tiny Forest Underfoot Discover the hidden world of moss—the soft, green carpets that blanket rocks, logs, and shaded forest floors. During this walk-and-talk with Dr. Paula Philbrick, you’ll explore how moss grows, why it’s far tougher than it looks, and the important role it plays in keeping ecosystems healthy. Participants will enjoy hands-on exploration and close-up observation of mosses throughout the Van Vleck Sanctuary. Expect to leave with a deeper understanding—and maybe a newfound appreciation—for these remarkable little green wonders.
