Join Michelle Poudrette, Joshua’s Trust’s Development and Communications Manager and Master Naturalist, on a fun, family-friendly, micro exploration of the Utley Hill Preserve in Columbia. From the Columbia Recreation Park, we will follow the 1.7-mile Yellow Loop and stop to take a closer look at the tiny world of mushrooms, mosses, ferns and more through a small handheld magnifier (a loupe). This will be a leisurely walk through varied terrain including some hills, rocks and roots, and possibly some muddy spots depending on weather.  Loupes will be provided. Please bring appropriate hiking gear, water and insect repellent. Please do not hesitate to call us at 860-429-9023 or email Michelle at [email protected] if you have any questions.
