Wood Wide Web

Super Weekend is a monthly program geared toward families. There are lots of activities that explore different features of the Fraser River, from its booming industry to its diverse ecosystem!

Discover the hidden network of the forest! Learn how mushrooms and fungi act as nature’s communication system, connecting plants through the “wood wide web”. Join us on November 23rd – 24th to learn more about common, local mushrooms and their many roles around the Fraser River as the cool, wet weather brings them out to shine.

WHAT:

– Learn how fungi connect the forest through the wood wide web!
