Location: Theodore Roosevelt Island, DC Leader: Rita Peralta There's a whole world of organisms that we can't easily see. In this leisurely exploration we'll use Foldscopes to look for the microbiota around us. Foldscopes are a foldable optical microscope that allows you to observe those living beings so small they normally escape our awareness. Join naturalist Rita Peralta for an adventure at Theodore Roosevelt Island, where she will introduce you to Foldscopes and explore the microbes in the soil and water that populate the world as we know it. Expect a mixture of paved and natural surface trails; depending on rainfall, some muddy and puddly terrain may be possible.
