About this Event
Join Lichenologist and Naturalist, John Villella for an exploration of lichens at the Harry & Marilyn Fisher Preserve at Pompadour Bluff! We will identify lichens growing on trees, shrubs, soil, and rocks, and we may see some rare species. Please bring a hand lens if you have one.
In 2021, we were honored to be gifted an iconic landmark of the Southern Bear Creek Valley, The Harry & Marilyn Fisher Preserve at Pompadour Bluff. Harry Fisher bequeathed this 55-acre property to SOLC in his will. Read more about what makes this scenic place so special and how you can support its conservation.
