Moss Safari: Exploring the secret life in moss is now out in the wild.

Go on a microscopic journey through moss to discover five extraordinary organisms. They share one thing – being able to survive in moss – and with that a host of incredible adaptations. Not only that, they each have amazing stories from their parts in evolution, geological history and human history. To witness these marvels, you do not need to travel far. Just find a piece of moss and use a basic microscope to reveal these animals, and many others, to you in real life.
