Lorie Hetrick-Volenberg, author of the newly released “Mosses of Missouri Through a Hand Lens”, will be leading a bryophyte hike at Wild Haven Nature Area on Sunday October 5th at 1:00 p.m. If you haven’t purchased her book, you will have the opportunity to do so from 1:00–1:30 p.m., with the hike starting at 1:30 p.m. We will build upon the beautifully designed self-guided moss walk by Louise Flenner. Both Lorie and Louise will be there to share their knowledge and enthusiasm about these petite but incredibly beautiful and interesting plants.

At a leisurely pace, the walk will traverse 1/2 mile of gentle topography, including two stream crossings that are commonly dry, especially in the fall.

Bring a hand lens if you have one. And there’s no harm in having binoculars as well!

Google map to Wild Haven.  Park in the small parking area near the pavilion or along O’Rear Road.

A rain date of Sunday, October 19th at 1:00pm is scheduled in case of bad weather. If the weather is in question, please check the hike listing on Lorie’s website for the most up-to-date info regarding postponement: https://mossesofmissouri.com/bryophyte-hikes/
