Sunday, May 19 – Habitats Based on Scale – How much is enough? with Bill at D. J. Wilcox Preserve from 9:00am-11:00am (min age: 8)

On this hike we will discuss how scale is used to classify habitats and how even relatively tiny patches of habitat are significant. We will talk about the diversity of habitats found within this park, and why small patches versus large patches occur (oftentimes right next to each other). We will point out plants that serve as indicators of habitat type and learn how to spot an ecotone.
