SUMMARY:Through the Loupe: Lichen & Moss
DESCRIPTION:Come get lost in the moss (and lichen).\n\n\nYou’ve seen those curious patches of green\, blue\, and yellow filling sidewalk cracks and plastered on trees\, but have you ever leaned in for a closer look? Mosses and lichens are everywhere\, from cities to old-growth forests\, but they remain overlooked and understudied. They are tiny\, their features almost microscopic\, but they can tell us big stories about our ecosystems–as big as the role they play in shaping them. On this walk\, we’ll learn some of those stories\, along with the biology\, ecology\, and identification of common NJ species. So grab a hand lens and shrink down with us to explore the fascinating mini-worlds of lichen and moss! Perfect for beginners! \n\n\nProgram Preparation\nPlease dress for the forecasted weather and bring water and anything else you may need. This class is entirely outdoors. Participants should expect to travel about 2 miles on pavement\, gravel\, or flat trails for the full duration of the class. Meet in front of the Farm Barn Orientation Center for check-in. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the start of class. \n\n\nProgram Guidelines\nRegistration is required. Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend so your space can be offered to someone else. Cancellations received at least 48 hours in advance are eligible for a refund\, if applicable. Programs at Duke Farms are RAIN or SHINE\, but in the event of severe weather\, classes may be canceled. Email notice will be given as early as possible via email and refunds will be issued in the case of cancellations. \nWe provide reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities. If a reasonable accommodation is needed to participate\, please contact us at registrations@dukefarms.org.

SUMMARY:Winter Wildflower Walk
DESCRIPTION:An invitation to appreciate what stubbornly remains\, even this late in the quietest season.\n\n\nWinter can seem like a time to put things on hold–for both the natural world and for those of us who study and enjoy it. But a more attentive look at our meadows and woodlands reveals plenty of residual botanical charm to see us through to spring. Stripped down to their essential characters by now\, some of our favorite blooms from warmer months persist–and though it can be challenging to recognize them\, it’s a little like encountering an old friend when you do. Join us on this walk to take in the unique forms and textures of our wintertime landscapes\, while we discuss what the tenacity of our native plants means to the wildlife that relies on them.

SUMMARY:After the Fire: Meadow Walk
DESCRIPTION:A chance to take in the aftermath of Monday’s prescribed meadow burn.\n\n\nIn the next few days\, rain will wash the ash away and spring will conjure up plenty of green in our meadows\, erasing most traces of the prescribed fire that took place early in the week. But the ecological consequences of this stewardship practice—at once ancient and cutting-edge—will continue to play out all season long. Why do we conduct controlled burns\, how is the fire managed\, and what changes should we look for as foliage and fauna return to our landscapes? Talk a walk through the char and soot with us to learn more! \n\n\nProgram Preparation\nPlease dress for the forecasted weather and bring water and anything else you may need.

SUMMARY:Signs of Spring
DESCRIPTION:Mark the return of spring on a nature walk that explores some favorite signs of the changing seasons.\n\n\nAs spring unfolds\, the land reveals so much to witness and celebrate. On this walk\, take time to read the land for signs of the changing seasons: bursting buds\, birdsong\, buzzing bees\, and spring ephemerals—the inconspicuous early bloomers that serve as vital sources of nectar and pollen for native insects. We’ll keep an eye out for these fascinating plants while enjoying all the other highlights of this season of awakening. \n\n\nProgram Preparation\nPlease dress for the forecasted weather and bring water and anything else you may need. This class is entirely outdoors. Participants should expect to travel about 2 miles on pavement\, gravel\, or flat trails for the full duration of the class.

SUMMARY:A "Peep" at Vernal Pools
DESCRIPTION:With the return of spring comes a nightly chorus of chirps and peeps\, but those aren’t birds you’re hearing!\n\n\nJoin us as we seek out the frogs responsible in their unique\, ephemeral habitat: the vernal pool. One of Spring’s most fascinating—and fleeting—features\, vernal pools come and go with the changing of seasons. Discover how to find vernal pools\, what other wildlife calls them home\, why they play such an important role in their larger ecosystem\, and what we can do to protect them. \n\n\nProgram Preparation\nPlease dress for the forecasted weather and bring water and anything else you may need.
