This lichen identification course consists of a blend of field and laboratory sessions, focusing on morphology, biology, ecology and chemistry of lichens.
This course will include a series of field visits to local sites around the Field Studies Council Centre, Rhyd-y-creuau, located within Snowdonia National Park. With the rich lichen diversity across this area, the Centre is perfectly situated for an introductory course to lichens, especially with the spectacular variety that can be found in North Wales. The knowledge and skillset acquired over the duration of this course will equip you with the confidence to delve further into lichens as a group, where follow-up support is offered by the course tutor.
