Nature Moments: DIY Holiday Fireworks

Bowdoin professor and Maine Audubon trustee Nat Wheelwright is on fire! His latest Nature Moments video:

You can find lycopods (a.k.a. club mosses) growing on the ground in most northeastern forests. They are the only living descendants of an ancient lineage of towering trees. And they have a special talent: their oily spores are amazingly flammable, perfect for DIY holiday fireworks!

Nature Moments are filmed with the help of Wilder Nicholson, Rebecca Goldfine, Tom Porter, Paul Benham, and Genie Wheelwright.
