Field Trip: Bush Park Lichen Walk

Saturday, February 24, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Trip Leader: Sunia Yang

The Pacific Northwest is one of the lichen hotspots of the world – more than ten percent of the world’s described lichen taxa can be found in our region. Join Sunia Yang to view and identify the lichens in Salem’s Bush Park. Dress appropriately for the weather and bring a hand lens.

A longtime nature guide, Sunia and Oregon State University professor Bruce McCune developed the first online interactive key to macrolichens in the Pacific Northwest. One of her life goals is to help others see and appreciate lichens. Registration is required. For more information and to register, contact John Savage at wv****@gm***.com.
