How might these slow-growing symbiotic organisms inspire us to reconnect with nature in a more mindful way?Using our macro lenses, we will examine the varied intricate structures of lichens whilst practising basic identification techniques. Taking inspiration from traditional and sustainable lichen dyes, artist Ella will guide us in a hands-on activity to create a small memento to take home, infused with lichen colour and scent.We will venture out for a short Spring walk to attune our senses in our locality at Greenwich Park, and see if we can spot any lichens. Gemma will share insight into how lichens may take on multiple important roles supporting the wildlife and ecosystems of the Parks, in light of increased pressure due to a changing and challenging climate.‘Lichen Lab: art and ecology’ will provide a starting point for your deep dive into these often overlooked but incredible organisms, reconnecting you to a hidden world within Greenwich Park.Your guides: is a visual multi-media artist.
