Lichen it with Evan (PM Session)
Event Details
Among the most quizzical and overlooked of all life on our planet is the lovely lichen. Lichen can be found on every corner of the earth, from the poles to the tropics. They are fascinating organisms with many properties, such as, food, medicine, and dye.
Bridging two kingdoms of life, lichens are a composite life form. They feature a fungal component as well as a botanical. This accessible workshop provides you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the most unfamiliar inhabitants of your backyard!
Evan is a program coordinator and field educator at North Cascades Institute who fancies all things fungal in his free time. He has taken numerous visitors "lichen hikin'" around the Environmental Learning Center and this workshop is a way to bring his knowledge to the Bellingham area.
