Finding Ferns and Their Friends

2951 Prospect Rd., Slippery Rock, PA 16057-5023

Ferns and their allies (other spore-bearing plants) are sometimes overlooked in favor of flashy flowers, but they are, in truth, an incredible example of resilience - bouncing back through difficult times, even persevering, for hundreds of millions of years. Explore these ancient life forms during a guided walk: Finding Ferns and their Friends, on Sunday, October 2nd at 2:00 PM at Jennings Environmental Education Center. There are many lessons to be learned from these plants that have survived and thrived throughout pre-history and into modern times. The trails followed are rated easy, but do consist of uneven ground and some steps. No registration is required, but visitors that may have any questions may contact jenningssp@pa.gov or call 724-794-6011.
