In this program Co-Director and amateur lichenologist Bert Harris will lead participants on a lichen tour of the rocky outcrops and mature forests of the Clifton Institute. We have some exciting lichens here, but we are just starting to study our lichen community, so with a group of lichen-likers looking closely we may even find a new species!

Both experienced and beginner lichenologists are welcome! Bert will go over the basics of lichen identification in the field. We recommend bringing a handlens if you have one, but we will have some to share if not. We will be walking off-trail on uneven terrain.
