Join us at the Blue Heron Nature Preserve on November 14th, 2026 at 10:00 AM (Eastern Time), and together we'll learn their different growth forms, reproductive strategies, and get familiar with some basic groups and common species. We’ll also discuss lichen ecology and the places they like to grow.  Finally, we'll finish up with lichen conservation: What that means and why it's important. Time permitting, we’ll talk about strategies for observing lichens on iNaturalist.

His interests include birds, lichens and conservation ecology in the Southeast.
