Wildwood Foray II

Post date: Jun 3, 2011 12:27:34 AM

We will be having the Spring Portion of our year-round Fungi Inventory for Wildwood Park in Radford, VA

on Sunday, June 12, at 2PM

We will meet in the parking lot off Main Street, behind the National Bank http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=4712600328476267654&q=national+bank,+radford,+va&hl=en&sll=37.140996,-80.574819&sspn=0.022088,0.01848&ie=UTF8&ll=37.157375,-80.602484&spn=0,0&z=14

Please RSVP by email to rebeccahra...@hotmail.com. Remember that if you click "reply" to this email, it will go to everyone in the Google Group. Let me also get your number, if you haven't given it to me before.

This RSVP is really important because we are limiting the advertisement and invitations to this event because Wildwood Park is a sensitive, protected area and we must plan the logisitics in order to minimize our impact. This event will, however, be in cooperation with Pathways for Radford and the VA Native Plant Society.

Bring field guides and hand lenses, as well as collection baskets and whatever other accoutrements you'd normally have for an outdoor foray. We project 2 hours of exploration and collection and 1-2 hours for identification and documentation. We will have a more formal "designated collector" and designated area for the groups we split into this time, to avoid unnecessary collection.

You can see the species list as it currently stands at http://www.radfordpl.org/wildwood/today/ We doubled the existing Fungi Record last Fall and Gary Coté from the R.U. Biology Dep't. will be collaborating with us again and adding our results to the Wildwood website. If you scroll down through the messages on our Google Group you will find more info. and links regarding the 10-17-10 Inventory/Foray
