    Mosses and liverworts are small green plants that are deeply appreciated by nature lovers but can sometimes be overlooked. These wonderfully soft carpets of green give our forests that lush quality that soothes the soul. Learn how to recognize some of the most common mosses and liverworts of our local forests and find out how they grow and reproduce. We will examine the delicate features of these small plants that distinguish one type of moss from another and will discuss the ecological niches that they occupy. Susan is the author of the book, Outstanding Mosses & Liverworts of Pennsylvania & Nearby States, which will be given to each student taking the class. Bring a hand lens or magnifying glass to the class if you have one.  Instructor: Susan Munch Author and Professor, Albright College
