Join the UK Mycology Club and Dr. Lou Hirsch from Plant Pathology as we walk around campus exploring the various fungi that are active this time of year. Get answers to questions like: what is that mushroom sprouting on campus? And how do these fungi affect the health of campus trees?
We will start around 5:00pm at the canon, in front of the Main Building on campus. Then we will walk around the student center and make our way to Matthew’s Garden. We expect to be done by 6:30. Come with water and snacks if you would like them!
Registration is encouraged at the google forms link.

Let’s Talk About Climate! Where should we begin?
Conversations about climate change can be intimidating, but are essential to building resilience and connection in the face of climate change. That’s why we’ve designed a climate conversation card game – to facilitate conversations between community members in ways that generate genuine connections between people and their experiences with climate change. Our card game encourages participants to work through their own relationships with climate change, form connections with others, and share their visions for a climate resilient Lexington.
