LOOKING AT SMALL THINGS: LICHENS AT HIGHAM
About
Take a stroll around Higham’s grounds with Cumbria Lichen and Bryophyte Group member Pete Martin for an enjoyable introduction to lichens. These overlooked yet remarkable features of the natural world can be found, quite literally, on our doorstep - or any other surface and in any environment. Pete will highlight some of the species to be found at Higham, explaining the fascinating nature of what lichens are and what they do. As you walk around, he will explain key features that help with identification, discuss some of the environmentalconditionsthat affect them and introduce the stories they can tell us about pollution and the history of environmental management. Warm up with a hot drink and cake afterwards.
