Weekends at Trailside: The Life of a Log

Description

Discover the fascinating life of a log and the hidden world it supports. Through fun games and interactive activities, explore how fallen trees become thriving habitats, sheltering insects, fungi, mosses, and even small animals. Then head out on a short hike to search for real-life log habitats and uncover the secrets of the forest floor. This hands-on adventure will spark curiosity and awe for the quiet but vital role logs play in forest ecosystems.
