Discover the fascinating world of lichens. This New England Wild Flower Society session on Saturday, October 14 from 9 – 3:30 at both Garden in the Woods and a field site includes a work session in which stereoscopes, spot tests, and keys will be used to study collections of the three lichen growth forms. An afternoon walk to a local site where lichens are colonizing soil, rock, and bark will offer the class a chance to practice distinguishing lichens in the field. Bring a bag lunch and a 10x hand lens. Led by Elizabeth Kneiper, the cost is $86 for NEWFS members and $104 for nonmembers. Image from http://www.nhgardensolutions.files.wordpress.com.
