Join Mattapoisett Land Trust and Mass Audubon as we head out on an all-ages family hike at ‘Walega-Livingstone Preserve’ in the Brandt Island Cove trail system on Sunday November 3 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am.
Fungi are the decomposers and recyclers of our forest systems. Without them, forests would take much longer to regenerate. The mushrooms we see are just the spore-producing bodies of a much larger, more complex organism growing in the wood or ground below. Mass Audubon staff will be leading our walk and teaching us about these fascinating fungi.
Our hike will begin at the Anchorage Way trailhead located at the end of Tara Road; parking is available along the street. We recommend long pants and close-toed hiking shoes for this trail. This hike is for all ages and is free, however registration is required. See www.massaudubon.org/programs and search “Fun with Fungi.”
