Address: Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Center, Cooksburg, PA

Cook Forest State Park, Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Classroom

Join WPMC Mycologists & Identifiers at the Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Classroom for an evening stroll through the Forest Cathedral. We will use 365nm UV flashlights to light up the trail and search for fungi that glow in response to ultraviolet light. Parts of the path are flatter but some sections have steep grades of 10-17%. Expect to walk 1-2 miles, but participants can shorten the distance as needed.

Participants should bring a headlamp, ideally with a red light, and wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. Participants are encouraged to bring their own UV flashlight. Leaders will provide protective eyewear.
