About the event

Lichens are probably the most fascinating yet overlooked life-forms in the natural world. In this half-day workshop, Anthony Speca will bring the compelling world of lichens out of the background. We’ll begin with an enjoyable and stimulating introduction to lichens, and then we’ll head out into Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve to observe lichens ‘in the wild’!

This workshop will include an informative talk followed by interactive fieldwork and using a variety of techniques to identify and investigate lichens. 

All materials and any necessary PPE will be provided. Please bring clothing suitable for a walk around the reserve. Please also bring a packed lunch or lunch can be purchased from our cafe. Teas and coffees will be provided throughout the workshop.
