WALPOLE — Would you like to learn how to identify some of the ferns you come across in the woods, but always thought it was too complicated to do? Well this workshop is for you!
Join Lynn Levine, forester, naturalist, and author of the new fern identification field guide ‘Identifying Ferns the Easy Way: A Pocket Guide for Common Ferns of the Northeast’ for a fern walk on Sunday, August 11 from 1-4 p.m., at Distant Hill Gardens and Nature Trail in Walpole. The afternoon will be spent in the gardens, fields, forests, and wetlands of Distant Hill learning to identify ferns using the simple methods described in Lynn’s book.
You will be introduced to all manner of native ferns, from the large and beautiful ostrich fern to the tiny and unique grape fern. With almost two-dozen species of ferns native to Distant Hill, this will be a workshop not to be missed by any fern-lover.
