Plant Walk - Boreal Ecology Walk
We will venture out through the forests surrounding the LMCA and explore the ecological interactions that support a thriving boreal plant community. Expect to learn some new plant species and discover some of the hidden adaptations and connections that link vascular plants, lichens, mosses, soil microbes, and wildlife into a dynamic, interdependent system.
