The Nature Club: Digging into Dead Stuff

It’s more than just a rotten log. It is a very complex interconnected array of organisms from multiple families; all utilizing the decomposing log as apartment, cafeteria, nursery, and more. you will focus on the role of the FBI (fungi, bacteria, and invertebrates) in recycling nutrients back into the environment as you discover the hidden excitement on and within a decomposing log.

Join CNC volunteer naturalist, Jerry Hightower, as we dig into dead stuff to learn more. From carnivorous arthropods and fungi to herbivorous isopods and insects; you will be amazed at the fantastic tiny monsters in decomposing logs. You will use “kitchen drawer” dissecting tools, hand lens, journals, identification guides, microscopes, and collection containers. Join us and discover decomposing.

Attend in person at 7PM in the CNC Plaza Conference Room and bring a dish to share for the potluck. Make new friends and connections at Nature Club while learning all at the same time. The presentation will begin at 7:30PM.
