The North Bend Public Library invites the community to discover the fascinating and often-overlooked world of mosses during a special presentation, “The Living World Under Our Feet: A Dive into the Natural History of Mosses,” on Wednesday, February 18 at 6:00 PM.

Presented by Oregon State Parks Ranger Rider Frey, this lecture-style program will explore what mosses are, what makes them unique, and why they play an important role in our ecosystems. Participants will learn about the natural history of mosses and gain a brief introduction to moss conservation, followed by time for questions and discussion.

Ranger Frey has worked with Oregon State Parks for nine years and brings a strong background in conservation and nature education. Prior to joining the department, he worked with several nonprofit organizations focused on environmental stewardship and public education, giving him a wealth of experience to share with audiences of all ages.

This interpretive program is free and open to the public.
