Forterra Nature Discovery: Hidden Inhabitants
September 6 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Event Overview:
Walk beneath a forest canopy and along marshy shores to meet wetland creatures small and large. Gary Mozel is a lifelong naturalist and interpreter who has a knack for explaining what we see and engaging our imaginations on what we can’t see. At a walk here last year, we learned how bats stay warm by roosting beneath the peeling bark of alder trees; also, the “pop” we hear coming from a hummingbird is made by the rush of air over its feathers – like a reed of a clarinet. Join us and discover what will be revealed in this special landscape this year!
