Some of the coolest things can be found by getting down to the ground and taking a close look at the tiny things that make up our natural world. <A href="http://www.hiddenforest.co.nz/index.htm">The Hidden Forest</A> aims to help you identify all the mosses, liverworts, and bryophytes you might come across.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/01/nature-geek-the.html"><P>Unlike other very good nature I.D. sites (such as <A href="http://www.whatsthatbug.com/index.html">What's That Bug?</A>), The Hidden Forest gets all geeky and delves into the classification names and lineage of the different plants. (If you're into fungus, this is the site to visit.)</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/01/nature-geek-the.html"><P>Right now, much of the content is centered on New Zealand flora, but there are plenty of US equivalents.
