Accessibility
- Location details and further instructions will be shared upon registration.
- Please leave your doggos at home. Trained service animals are permitted.
- As is the case with most mycologic, botanic, and geologic explorations, we will likely not travel very far due to constant distractions and pauses. That being said, be prepared to traipse through the woods on uneven terrain for up to 2 miles.
- We will be helping each other identify the lichens that we find and no prior knowledge is required.
- iNaturalist is a useful tool to aid in your identifications, as well as support an effort to document our area’s biodiversity. We invite you to consider downloading the app ahead of time and we will help you learn how to use it.
