Learn to recognize the lichen diversity in local woodlands as we walk across the wonderful boardwalk installed by the Lincoln Conservation Commission and the Weston Forest and Trail Association. It provides access to a range of habitats, crosses wooded wetlands, and leads to trails in a mixed hardwood stand. By looking at the lichen species growing on deciduous and pine trees, downed logs, boulders, and soil, we can explore the microhabitat requirements of the different lichens. Keys will be available for the identification of the more common macrolichens. Bring a 10x hand lens. Appropriate for beginners and intermediate lichen lovers alike.
