Environmental Education at Pelican Park
Pelican Park, Recreation District #1
through its Environmental Education Program, partnered with Dr. Logan
Wiedenfeld, Gulf States Mycelium Society and Matthew Herron, Environmental
Education School of Coastal Plains, who conducted a workshop on Saturday,
December 4, 2021. The
workshop was held at the Pelicans Landing Pavilion and consisted of a mini-lecture
to get oriented on the world of mycelium followed by a field walk to identify
and collect mushrooms.
Thank you to the knowledgeable presenters that volunteered their time and the students that came out to learn with us. They all took a beautiful field walk together, where they enjoyed finding a variety of mushrooms. When the class came back to the Pelicans Landing pavilion, they were able to look at their findings through a microscope a discuss and identify each one!

The fourth generation of monarchs will soon begin their journey south on their annual migration to overwintering sanctuaries in Mexico and Michoacán, Mexico. Watch the Journey North’s interactive maps to find out when the first monarchs arrive in the sanctuary region (typically around November 1st).
