Upcoming Events
Saturday, October 26th, 10 a.m. to noon
“The Many Changes of Autumn”
a fall walk led by Philip Coulling, forest ecologist and Director of Nature Camp
Phil will discuss why deciduous leaves change color and what explains the variation we see among oaks, hickories, maples, and others. Additionally, he’ll talk about bird migration, hibernation, seed dispersal, the unique reproductive strategy of witch-hazel,
the perils and positives of snow, and adaptations that allow some plants to remain photosynthetically active during the winter.
Come and enjoy the woods at this especially beautiful time of year!
Meet at the main parking lot, by the spring house (1010 Union Run, Lexington)
