The Malaspina Naturalists Club, Lichen Field Trip was held on
Saturday January 9th, 2010 and led by Ann and Paul Clements.
Seven members attended. The trip started at Community Living Place at 10am with a review of the biology of Lichens. As a framework for identification in the field, we then reviewed the seven Lichen classifications described in Pojar and MacKinnon’s Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
The group viewed examples of lichens in each of the seven groups and examples of lichen features such as apothecia, soredia and isidia. We then carpooled to Haslam Lake and viewed many varietiesof lichens found at the site. The trip concluded at 12:00 noon.
