About this Event
In this program Clifton Institute Executive Director and amateur lichenologist Bert Harris will lead participants on a tour of the greenstone barrens and adjacent oak-hickory forests of Wildcat Mountain in Fauquier County. The full-sun greenstone outcrops and mature hardwoods at this site host a diverse and beautiful community of lichens and mosses, as well as rare vascular plants that specialize on rock outcrops.
Beginners with no lichen experience are welcome! Bert will go over the basics of lichen identification in the field.
We will be walking off-trail, on uneven terrain. Registered attendees will be emailed the address and detailed directions.
