Mosses on Madeline Island

Free and Open to the Public!
Location:  Madeline Island Museum

Like amphibians, mosses are tied to water in ways that conifers and flowering plants are not.

Understanding their relationship to water and light is essential as we talk about various moss habitats (forests, fens, backyards) and substrates (forest floor, tree bark, rock). 

We will look closely at some Madeline Island species and discover that although small, they are not all the same.
