Public Tours

Do trees share nutrients? Do they warn each other of pest invasions? Do some species help other species seasonally, and get paid back in other seasons? We'll discuss how science has shown these new discoveries, and along the way we’ll visit the Johnson Creek Riparian Area habitat and the historic Stone Cabin.
