This one-day course helps participants develop their interest in and knowledge of lichens. Lichens will be investigated in their local habitats along with characters to aid field identification. The biology and the many uses of lichens, including as pollution indicators, will be introduced. If time is available participants may be able to use microscopes to study lichens further or undertake a small project.
Allan Pentecost, an experienced tutor, has published many research papers on lichens including Malham Tarn Lichen Flora. He has been visiting and collecting in the area for over 30 years.
