*** This outing is now full. ***

Lichens are everywhere, but what are they good for? The unique composite organisms are consumed, constructed with, and provide camouflage for forest birds, mammals, and insects and were a fundamental foundation of the boreal forests after the most recent glaciation. These sensitive organisms are also great indicators of habitat qualities. Join me in an outing to expand the appreciation of these integral forest organisms.
