Here’s your chance to learn more about an ancient part of our flora which preceded flowering plants and has existed since the time of the dinosaurs. Our living classroom will be the rich woodlands of Rachel Carson Conservation Park, near Olney, MD. Under the guidance of our Natural History Field Studies ferns instructor, you will learn how to begin IDing ferns in their natural habitats and find out more about their life histories. Expect a little over a 2-mile hike, with some mild uphill/downhill on uneven natural surface trails. REGISTER
