Event Type: Nature Exploration

Lichens are a partnership of fungi and algae that are particularly common in Maine. We'll observe their weird & unique shapes and perhaps learn some common species. This talk will explore the odd natural history, ecology, and recent research of these wildly diverse but usually unnoticed organisms. Bring a hand lens if you have one, but loaners will be available. Meet at the stone bench in front of the picnic pavilion.
