ABOUT THE NIGHT WALK
Join us a night for a family friendly walk to explore the diverse, nocturnal ecosystem of the festival with UV flashlights to look for night pollinators, glowing plants, fungus, lichens and more.
Guests will learn how fungi is entangled all ecosystems helping plants gain water and nutrients, creating the pigments that give flowers their beautiful colors, to helping plants communicate with pollinators. We will have a UV flashlights you can purchase. (Recommend 365 nm spectrum.)
As always, we will be giving away recycled mushroom blocks, and reishi mushroom tea will be available so bring an insulated mug. Get creative with glowing outfits, face paint and don’t forget your camera and tripod.
Learn more here about how some plants, mushrooms, lichens and insects have evolved color patterns that are visible in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic light spectrum, which humans cannot see but many insects, birds and animals can see.
