Sábado 13 de enero, 2024, 9:45am – 12:00pm
No es una planta, no es un animal … ¡es un hongo! Ven a descubrir el extraño y maravilloso mundo de los hongos en Sugarloaf. Esta es una caminata ligera y charla acerca de la versatilidad de este reino, incluyendo su ciclo de vida, ecología, y usos. Tendremos la oportunidad de aprender como utilizar la aplicación móbil iNaturalist para ayudarnos a identificar especímenes que encontremos, así que cerciórese de que la batería de su dispositivo esté cargada.
La ruta final será determinada ese día basado en el clima y las condiciones de los senderos. Nos reuniremos afuera del centro de visitantes. Los boletos cuestan $5 a $10 (escala variable) para adultos y gratis para menores de 18 años. Por favor regístrese por adelantado ya que el espacio es limitado y se llenará pronto. El estacionamiento, usualmente $10, es gratis para este evento. Por favor ven abrigado en capas, viste calzado adecuado para senderos lodozos/resbaladizos, trae protección solar, al menos un litro de agua, y si deseas, un bocadillo. Sugerimos traer un espejo de bolsillo para observar las láminas de hongos, ya que trataremos de no recogerlos lo más posible, algo en que arrodillarse, y una guía de identificación de hongos, si la tienes. También te invitamos a traer una taza para que tus pequeños disfruten de chocolate caliente después de la caminata. Las lluvias fuertes cancelan la salida.
Para más información, manda un correo electrónico a senderos@sonomaecologycenter.org o llama a Alma al 707-247-5767.
Facilidad de accesso: no es posible saber la facilidad de accesso de este programa, ya que la ruta se decirá el día del evento basada en las condiciones de los senderos y abilidad de los participantes.
