About the Foothills Naturalist Program:

The Foothills Naturalist Program provides adult participants with both ecological knowledge and a sense of community through outdoor experiential education opportunities on lands permanently protected by FCNC.

In Mycology, participants will explore the incredible world of fungi, with a focus on mushroom anatomy, ecology, and useful traits for identification.

Highlights include:

• Learning nature journaling techniques
• Exploring the land in search of fungal fruiting bodies
• Learning mushroom anatomy terminology
• Connecting with fellow community members in our shared love of our wild spaces!
