Mosses and Lichens are some of the power-houses of the forest, helping to decompose leaves, logs, and even boulders into soil for new trees to grow in.

Join us for a quick walk on the Great Hill Conservation Land to collect some mosses and lichens and then bring them back to the Museums to make an art project with your finds.

Please note that these trails are not handicap or stroller accessible, please wear appropriate footwear and clothing – this program is weather and conditions dependent.

For more information on Great Hill, please visit http://actontrails.org/DescGreatHill.htm.

Our walk will meet outside of the Children’s Discovery Museum.

Sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.
