The Intriguing World of Lichens
March 17 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
$30 Non-Member / $24 Member
Lichens, extraordinary partnerships between very different organisms, are common, but poorly understood and underappreciated by most people. However, lichens are important in soil formation, as a food source for many animals, and have been used by humans for a wide range of purposes. This presentation introduces the fascinating, often beautiful, world of lichens.
