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 introductory talk followed by interactive fieldwork. Hand lenses will be provided allowing participants to explore lichens up close in their natural setting. 

This workshop is 3 hours long and will include a drinks break where tea or filter coffee will be provided. Please bring clothing suitable for a walk around the reserve. 

Please see here for full events terms and conditions.
