Second Saturday Walks

Lichens

Join lichen enthusiast Michael Mulroy on a slow-paced, relaxed lichen walk through the Elfin Forest. The Elfin Forest is a very special habitat for lichens. Its old-growth maritime chaparral hosts a luxuriant and diverse lichen community that includes multiple rare lichen species. On the walk we will cover the fascinating biology of lichens and their ecological importance. Depending on interest, we can also spend time learning some of the common lichens that can be readily identified in the field.
