Ferns are truly amazing plants that have been around for millions of years and have successfully adapted to changing conditions throughout that time. Join local Forester and Naturalist, Lynn Levine, to learn everything you need to know about common ferns of our region. Lynn will take us on a hands-on learning adventure in the Grafton Village Park to familiarize us with a variety of common ferns and other natural wonders we encounter.

Important Note: The guided walk may have uneven/unlevel terrain, variable ground conditions, and moderate hiking. Unless there is hazardous weather, this program will occur rain or shine. The make-up date is at the same time on the following day, Sunday 07/16. Please make sure that you're available for the makeup date as we cannot issue refunds for an inability to attend the rescheduled program.

Presenter Bio:

Since receiving her masters in 1978, Lynn Levine has been a consulting forester, environmental educator and naturalist. She was the first woman forester in the Northeast.

Lynn has created more than a dozen interpretive nature trails, with her most recent one incorporating an Abenaki perspective.

Lynn has worked with children and adults in classrooms and libraries and has taken thousands of people into the forest to share her love of nature, and to spur others to feel the same. She has found that teaching about how plants connect through tree, tracking and fern identification are powerful ways to spark and enhance that bond. Levine has co-authored: Working with Your Woodland: A Landowner’s Guide and Mammal Tracks and Scat: Life Size-Tracking Guide. She is the author of: Mammal Tracks and Scat: Life-Size Pocket Guide, Snow Secrets, Is it Time, Yet? and Common Ferns of the Northeast, the Winner of the 2019 Informational Nonfiction Book Award. Lynn’s new picture book is “Skylar Samara and Her Mother Tree”, which will be

published this year. See more information about her books here.
