Description
Join Mattapoisett Land Trust and Mass Audubon as we head out on an all-ages family hike at 'Walega-Livingstone Preserve' in the Brandt Island Cove trail system.
Fungi are the decomposers and recyclers of our forest systems. Without them, forests would take much longer to regenerate. The mushrooms we see are just the spore-producing bodies of a much larger and more complex organism growing in the wood or ground below.
This program is FREE thanks to the Mattapoisett Land Trust.

Instructions
Participants will meet for a walk in the Brandt Island Cove trail system. There is ample street parking on Anchorage Way by the land trust kiosk and trailhead. You can find the trailhead on Google Maps listed as 'Walega-Livingstone Preserve.'
The program will take place on a forested hiking trail adjacent to 250 acres of saltmarsh habitat. The trails can be uneven and muddy in places, so wear suitable footwear for your visit.
