What a terrific walk! We had a great group of participants thanks in large part to the folks at the Greenburgh Nature Center, whose advertising drew in a wonderful crowd of enthusiastic amateur naturalists. It was especially delightful to have so many curious and intelligent young people, who were at the forefront in helping us find fungi! I hope we see everyone who attended the walk again and often.
