We had a fabulous walk through the huge preserve with Damon and Jennifer Brunette at the lead. Also accompanying our group was Taro Ietaka from the Trailside Museum. Taro was especially helpful identifying the slime molds we found, as he had taken a course in Maine with myxomycete expert and author Stevenson.
