Title: Connecting to local biodiversity – a walking conversation in the field 

(Tuesday September 23rd 5-6:30pm) 

Description:

Join us for a field expedition of local flora, fauna, and fungi with Laura Wyeth - horticulturist and lecturer of botany at SUNY New Paltz. Her life's mission is to help people connect with and understand plants. Participants will practice close observation of the natural world and experience techniques for engaging the senses in this exploration. 

We will start at the Pine Road parking lot (right off Butterville Road in New Paltz, NY). Parking is limited. Please carpool if possible. Dress to be comfortable in whatever weather emerges- water, sturdy shoes, layers of clothing, bug spray, and sun protection are recommended.
