When
-

Join NCBP member Tracy Feldman at Durant Nature Preserve in Raleigh for a program on bryophyte ecology.

Description: Mosses and liverworts are tiny plants. They don't look like much at first glance, but they are amazing, in their diversity and their adaptations. And they are homes for many tiny living things. We may bring
some mosses inside to look under the microscope for creatures that live inside the mosses. Bring a warm
coat! Children must be accompanied by adults. Pre-registration is required.
