Join Shaver’s Creek staff Alexa Sarussi for a free, in-person morning of nature journaling at Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center!
We’ll gather in person and be joined virtually by Stephen Bucklin, a naturalist educator at the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, for a morning of lichen exploration! Stephen will share about lichen ecology, anatomy, and vocabulary before we head out to search for and journal lichens on the nearby trails at Shaver’s Creek. We’ll then return indoors to share our observations and questions with Stephen, who can also assist with identification in real time via photos.
All ages, families, and individuals are welcome. We encourage parents to bring children who express genuine interest in nature drawing, but ask that they monitor their behavior. Youth participants must be accompanied by an adult participant.
