The Reindeer Are Hungry: An Exploratory Walk & Talk on Reindeer Moss

Come learn about reindeer moss!  A brief presentation will introduce this lichen and all of its magical powers.  Learn how it grows, where to find it, and what species we’re most likely to find at Goodwin.  Then we’ll take a short walk around the Discovery Loop Trail and map out our findings.  We may even find a few more interesting things along the way. The walk will end with an opportunity to take home your very own reindeer moss ornament.
