About this event

  • 3 hours

Bug Out on the Table Rocks: Hike with Dr. Bill Schaupp, entomologist emeritus with the USDA Forest Service’s Forest Health Protection, to observe and discuss the incredible insects that live on or flutter by the Table Rocks. The hike will focus on forest insects and tree diseases and feature some specimens (gall wasps, bark beetles, wood borers) for show and tell. You will gain a deeper appreciation for how insects live and their essential role in the environment. Limited to 20 individuals.
