Lichen Walk January 30, 2010

Open your eyes to the once-hidden beauty of lichens, exposed after the leaves have fallen. The Arboretum is home to many species of these unique organisms. Explore the symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi that creates lichens, and learn about their ecological importance in Oregon forests. All levels of expertise are welcome on this walk, led by lichen expert Daphne Stone. Rain or Shine. Meet at the Arboretum Visitors Center.
