Show Collection Urban Walk
If you don't have a car or are not planning on leaving the city to gather, a few of us will be conducting an urban survey on foot in Mt. Pleasant on Friday the 11th. We will collect specimens that we find and investigate connections between our city landscape and fungi. The group will meet at Riley Park Community Garden (50 E 30th Ave) at 11, and walk around the neighborhood before concluding at the Fish Counter on Main Street at around 1. If you would like to join us for this 2 hour walk, please let me know at president@vanmyco.com
