Mosses for Beginners

If mosses intrigue you when you hike and you’d like to know more about them, this is your chance. Using slides, dramatization, models, and microscope work, Linda and Charlie Davis will introduce participants to moss anatomy, life cycle, ecology, human use, and gardening. The walk to your mailbox will never be the same.

Leaders: Charlie and Linda Davis have inventoried mosses and liverworts for the National Park Service at Great Falls Park, Virginia, and at Piscataway Park and Fort Washington Park in Maryland. Charlie is a professional field ecologist who specializes in plants. Linda and Charlie offered monthly moss identification workshops for years at the Natural History Society of Maryland in Overlea, MD.
