Yard & Garden Lecture Series #1

Jane Billinghurst, the translator of Peter Wohlleben’s The Hidden Life of Trees, will describe how to get the most out of your next forest adventure by taking a deep dive into the ecosystems around you — whether hiking on your own, camera in hand, or teaching young children how to be forest detectives. Discover fascinating facts about how tree frogs change color, how slime molds travel to find food, which animals and plants glow at night, and how lichens fertilize our forests. Jane is a WSU Skagit County Master Gardener, translator, and author. Her latest book, Forest Walking, co-written with Peter Wohlleben, is all about trails of discovery in forests around North America.
