Introduction to Mushroom Identification with Field Journaling

Location: Kwis Kwis Trail - Upper Loop (about a three-mile loop)
Date & Time: Saturday, October 19th, 10am to 1 pm (3 hours)

Join Lewis and Clark National Historical Park for a guided three-mile walk through the upland forest to look for and identify mushrooms. This will not be a foraging expedition.Instead, we’ll be collecting observations in our journals, using words, sketches, and numbers to describe what we see.

We’ll leave the picnic area at Lewis & Clark National Historical Park at 10am and follow the Fort to Sea Trail to the Kwis Kwis Cut-Off, following the upper Kwis Kwis back to the picnic area.

Please bring the following supplies:

• sketch book

• pencil/pen

• color pencils/paint

• chair or cushion to sit on while journaling

• water

• snacks
