DLAMN – Mosses: The Humble Pioneers of the Journey onto Land

About this event

Mosses: The Humble Pioneers of the Journey onto Land is a three part class consisting of a morning classroom presentation,  an afternoon Auto Tour/Field Study, followed by numerous Pop-Up Walks/Hikes during the year. The first two parts will be presented on Saturday, February 22.  

 

The morning classroom presentation will be held at the Lake Ouachita State Park Visitors Center from 9:00 to 11:45. The class will break for a “working” lunch from 11:45 to 12:30. During that time we will work on Moss ID. Please bring a sack lunch and drink.  

 

Topics covered in the classroom will include: The Journey to Land, The Great Escape, Bryophyte Life Cycle, Characteristics, Ecology, and Identification

 

The afternoon Auto Tour/Field Study will begin at LOSP and Travel to the Avery Recreation Area below Blakely Dam. From there the group will make several stops along the way to the Spillway Public Use Area. At each stop we will observe moss communities and identify common mosses of Garland and Montgomery counties. There will be very little walking. The Auto Tour/Field Study will conclude around 3:00 p.m.

Bring a friend! Hope to see you there! - Bill

 

Note: The hours for this class can be used toward either NiT hours or continuing education.
