Can you spot early signs of decomposition? Decomposition is nature’s way of recycling plant and animal matter back into the environment. Fungi, bacteria and even insects all take part in the recycling process! Come on a hike as we look for decomposition throughout our parks. This is a Tools to Trek Program.
