Join the Central Texas Mycological Society and Odditree Society for the launch of a new public artwork, “Decompose / Descompone”. Developed by artist Sara Dotterer, the artwork is a self-guided walk and mediation that aims to highlight the history and ecology of Circle Acres as well as the interactions between soil, tree, and fungal networks. While walking, you will explore the life cycle of fungi and the history of Circle Acres Nature Preserve through observations, movement-based actions, as well as augmented reality on your own phone. The walk will include an opportunity to engage with this new artwork individually, as well as a guided tree and fungi walk facilitated by CTMS’s Chris Kennedy, and Ann Armstrong from the Odditree Society. 

Open to all! Come experience the natural world in new ways through site-specific art!
