Talk: First Steps on the Path to ‘Enlichenment’
Event details
About the event
Lichens are the poster-child for neglected biodiversity. Few people notice them, and fewer care about them. But lichens aren’t only curiously beautiful, they also play an outsized and important ecological role. What’s more, they’re unlike anything else on Earth. This session will introduce you to their fascinating world, but beware! Once you’ve taken first steps along the path to ‘enlichenment’, you’ll start an exciting journey that you won’t want to end.
Anthony is the field lichenologist behind Aspen Ecology. A committed naturalist, educator and communicator, he is a knowledgeable guide and responsive advisor on the remarkable world of lichens.
