a-MOSS-ing!

Lewis & Clark’s beautiful campus is home not only to lots of evergreens, native shrubs, and flowers, but also an abundance of moss. In honor of this underappreciated plant, Lewis & Clark’s Natural History Club held its sixth annual Moss Appreciation Week in mid-February. The popular campus event featured traditional favorites, like the Moss Petting Zoo and the terrarium-building workshop, as well as new events, including Moss Murmurs in L&C’s Ear Forest and a one-of-kind Gastropod Derby. Special guest Jenna Ekwealor, a bryologist from San Francisco State University, led a moss walk and delivered a lecture on the secret life of moss that grows under rocks. This year’s Moss Week was organized by club leaders Deanna Sunnergren BA ’24 and Sammy Kutsch BA ’24.
