Come see the Greenbelt’s fabulous fall colors, as well as what is decomposing and changing around us.
Take a short walk to collect samples of fine foliage and search for magnificent mushrooms. We then look at the structure, function, and color of leaves under a microscope, and we will examine fungi specimens. We will use chromatography paper to separate out leaf colors.
This program is suitable for ages 8 and up. The program is sponsored by Councilman Vincent Ignizio.
