SUMMARY:July 4th Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the coming holiday with an Independence Day themed nature scavenger hunt at the Highlands Botanical Garden!  Beginning Thursday\, July 2nd you and your family will be able to use our self-guided scavenger hunt guides to find plant species that resemble various colors and shapes that are associated with the 4th of July such as fireworks and stars. Scavenger hunt print outs will be available at the entrance to the Botanical Garden. Remember to leave natural objects where you find them. \nTo combat the spread of COVID-19\, we ask that once you take one\, you keep it and take it home with you as we want to minimize visitors touching the same surfaces and don’t want to find discarded guides in the garden. Remember to maintain social distance and wear face masks as mandated by the NC Executive Order. \nFor more information on this scavenger hunt\, please contact HBF Nature Center Education Specialist Paige Engelbrektsson at (828) 526-2623.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Lichens Course Ends (June 29th - July 3rd)
DESCRIPTION:Biology & Conservation of Lichens June 29 – July 3 Dr. Jessica Allen\, Atlanta Botanical Garden & Dr. James Lendemer\, New York Botanical Garden (download syllabus) Lichens grow all over the world\, from the arctic to the tropics\, where they are important in a multitude of ways including serving as shelter for small invertebrates\, and food for animals from snails to caribou. In this course you will have a chance to learn about lichens in one of their centers of diversity\, the southern Appalachians. We will take field trips to a variety of habitats to explore the species and ecological diversity of lichens. Lab work will cover lichen chemistry\, morphology\, and identification. At the end of the course you will have a new perspective on the diversity\, evolution and ecology of lichens. * We will go on field trips to explore a variety of lichen communities characteristic of the southern Appalachians. Field trips will take place in natural areas up to 1.5 hours drive from HBS. Up to a total of 5 miles of hiking per day can be expected on days we go in the field. For all-day field trips you will need to pack a lunch. Prerequisites: General biology\, ecology\, basic understanding of evolution\, and prior experience with basic skills of microscopy is strongly recommended.
