While many species become dormant over the winter, lichens and mosses are thriving! Come enjoy a winter morning learning about these unique and hardy species. This program will begin outside, hiking and searching for species in the wild. Then we’ll head indoors for warm beverages and a closer look at some specimens under our scopes.
