Come learn about lichens, those fascinating symbiotic organisms that consist of combinations of fungus and algae enmeshed into distinct individual species. You will learn how to tell lichens from mosses, and notice different forms of lichens such as leaf, bush, dust, scale, and crust. We’ll use hand lenses to get a close-up look at the anatomy of lichens growing on trees and rocks, and learn about their amazing assortment of reproductive strategies and structures. Open to adults and older inquisitive kids. Please note: There will be two separate walks covering the same information but on different dates and starting at different entrances, as shown above. Join us for either or both! (Contact Molly at [email protected] with any questions). BBC’s walk programs are free and open to the public. We ask that you register beforehand, which will allow us to answer any questions you might have and notify you of any changes or cancellations. To sign up for any of the following walks, please send an email to Dave Pritchard at Registrar@ BroadBrookCoalition.org. Please check the Broad Brook website (broadbrookcoalition.org) for more information on any of these programs, or call Dave Pritchard (413-695-8442) or Dick Wynne (413-584-7930).
