A fascinating world …
Lichens are found in a variety of colours, a range of shapes & sizes, and they grow at the North Pole, the South Pole and everywhere in between.
A lichen is not a single organism but is a mixture of a fungus and algae.
There’s lots to learn about lichens and some renowned local experts will be coming to Buriton on Saturday 23rd March to study the species that can be found here and lead a short guided walk in the afternoon.
They’ll give a short explanation about lichens and the sort of things to look for in identifying them and their ecology (plus where to find out more) before having a look at 20 or so common and representative ones that they’ll have found in the morning.
The event is for parishioners, family and friends only and further details (including the place to meet) can be obtained by using this contact form (https://www.buriton.info/form/contact) or by emailing info@buriton.info
