We're sorry. This event is no longer available, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Without fungi, our forests wouldn’t survive! Students will learn the roles of fungi in forest ecology, relevant vocabulary, and the different types of fruiting bodies (AKA mushrooms). After being introduced to the world of mycology, we will explore Red Clay for fungi!
This Homeschool Days is for students 4th grade & up. You MUST sign up for your child to participate.
There will be alternative activities for non-participating children, like nature bingo cards and coloring sheets. Please only register participating students.
