We will stroll the paths on Picnic Point, looking for lichens growing on trees and rocks. Lichens are a very hardy (visible year-round) symbiosis mostly of a fungus and an alga–learn more on the walk. Before the tour you may want to download the Lichens of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve guide (https://www.friendslakeshorepreserve.com/). Bring a hand lens or magnifier if you have one. Meet at the entrance to Picnic Point next to the informational kiosk. Leader: Susan Will-Wolf
