Join Ben Carter, botany professor at San Jose State, for a 1- 2 mile walk to learn about bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) of the Ba y Area. This is an entry-level walk that will emphasize seeing different br yophyte species in nature and learning about their morphology, ecology and natural history.
There may be some moderate uphill climbs, but we’ll be moving very slowly. Bring a hand lens if you have one. Bring lunch, snac ks and liquids. We’ll head out in any conditions except for heavy rain.
We will meet at the main parking lot for the preserve, off Skyline Boule vard (SR 35), one mile south of Page Mill Road.
