The public is invited out to a couple of events at local parks this weekend.
First, a Shiitake Mushroom Workshop is planned for Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at Moraine’s South Shore Park office. Adult beginners interested in participating will be able to learn about how to identify and grow these delicious delicacies at home. Pre-registration through the DCNR website is required.
Then on Sunday, area residents are invited to McConnells Mill State Park to learn more about the Eastern Hemlock tree. From 1 to 3 p.m., attendees will meet at the Breakneck Falls Parking lot to learn more about the importance of our state tree. Participants joining the park naturalist on this two mile hike are advised to wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, and bring drinking water.
