Description
What is your forest telling you? Join us for a bit of detective work to decipher natural and cultural features on the landscape while exploring the forest and field(s) as we look for cultural imprints, signs of natural and man-made disturbances, changes in structure, topography, and vegetative species and composition. Can you tell how long it has been since these changes occurred? So many mysteries to explore; we promise no Halloween ghosts!
