See all- Microclimates: A Hiker's Guide to Nature's mini ecosystemsProf. Denny Thompson Property, Stormstown, PA
This outing offers an opportunity to learn about microclimates while being immersed in them. What is a microclimate and how do they affect habitat, climate and the soil? We will explore the diverse microclimates on the property of Denny Thomson, Professor Emeritus of Meteorology and former dean of the Department of Meteorology, as he shares his expertise and insights. Join us for a unique experience as we walk through meadows, past ponds, and into the forest with Denny Thomson. He will explain what microclimates are and their vital role in habitat, climate, and soil. We will walk through meadows and forests, navigating occasional steep sections of the trail. Along the way, we will pause frequently to listen and learn from Denny during this engaging outdoor lecture.
The event should take about 2 to 3 hours. Good walking shoes are a must (boots would be best). Wear long pants. Bring water and a snack. sierraclub.org/pennsylvania/moshannon
