Shrubby, leafy, crusty… Bundle up and join us for a lichen scavenger hunt! These unique organisms (part fungus and part algae or cyanobacteria) can tell us about air quality and much more! Meet at Blackstone Field, across from the Narragansett Boat Club (2 River Drive, Providence, RI 02906).
Registration strongly recommended: https://forms.gle/uHw2VjjtW48ef6gQ6
This event is part of our monthly “Nature on the Move” series with 15 Minute Field Trips, focusing on community action to protect wildlife, promote biodiversity, and combat climate change. Learn about local flora and fauna through art and science activities. Great for families or to use in the classroom. Get moving as we explore Blackstone Park. We’ll still have great displays and crafts, but we’re adding more guided walks this year. See you there!
The “Nature on the Move” series is led by our longtime collaborator Melissa Guillet, from 15 Minute Field Trips. Melissa has taught art for over 20 years and is an avid nature-lover involved in gardening, hiking, and collecting data as a citizen scientist.
