All abilities welcome for Fungi Walk on Sunday, November 19th at Leiffer Trail in Jed Smith

Join Redwood Parks Conservancy (RPC), California State Parks and the National Park Service on Sunday, November 19th from 11am-1pm for a lovely stroll along the north side of the accessible Lieffer Trail on Walker Road, off of Hwy 199, in the beautiful and majestic Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

 

Enliven all your senses as you take in the sights, breathe in the fresh oxygen rich air and frolic with delight at nature's treasures. Enjoy a leisurely guided walk through the redwoods, on a family friendly scavenger hunt BINGO game for a variety of erupting colorful mushrooms and other fun forest finds. Practice using technology with the SEEK app to identify fungi and other plants or creatures along our path.

There will be the opportunity to hook up "The Music of the Plants" device to a mushroom to listen to the electromagnetic energy of the mushroom transferred into sound waves, so the fungi can sing to you! The redwood trees are excellent singers, so let's see how the fungi compare. Dress warm and come prepared for rain because this event is rain or shine! Let's experience nature, make new friends, laugh and learn together as we take in all the magic November brings to the parks!
