Fungi are tucked into every corner of the natural world. From brightly coloured caps scattered across forests to invisible threads woven through decaying logs, fungi connect, repurpose and reshape ecosystems in complex ways. Join Kawartha Land Trust's Land Stewardship Manager Hayden Wilson for a foray into the fungal communities of John Earle Chase Memorial Park and how these often unseen organisms underpin form and function in forests. John Earle Chase Memorial Park is a 400-acre nature reserve that Ralph and Evelyn Chase donated to Parks Canada in 1995. Since 2018, as part of a special partnership, Kawartha Land Trust manages the community footpaths and stewardship activities on the property. Part of Kawartha Land Trust's 2025-26 Passport to Nature series.
