Join us for a revisit to Wolf Gull with our Plantman, Dr. Bruce Gilman.
Wolf Gull near Naples, NY is a narrow valley surrounded by two steep hills, the creeks flow in two different directions. It's a protective environment with a variety of plant and aquatic life.
We will meet at the mowed roadside along the Garlinghouse Road just west of the intersection with the Garlinghouse-Atlanta Road.
It was another rainy night before we arrived to wander the trail through Wolf Gull. Fortunately, there was no rain and just a cool overcast morning to enjoy ferns, fungi, and more.

| Bruce explains how a gully runs east west into the Finger Lakes and a gull runs north south to Lake Ontario and Chesapeake Bay. We'll walk to "the great divide" and look for Goldies fern. |
