Have you ever seen a lichen and knew that it was a lichen? Not many people know what lichens are, and who would? They seem as though they are from another planet! Lichens are bizarre organisms, and no two are alike. Join Curtis Hansen, Curator of Plants at the John D. Friedman Herbarium, to learn all about lichens and why they are an important part of wooded ecosystems in Alabama. As a part of this class, Curtis will take our group on a walk through the woody parts of the gardens to learn how to spot and identify these complex life forms.
Location: Adventure Classroom
