Description
In this outdoor activity, learners search for lichen, a combination of a fungus and an alga living together. Lichen grow where most other plants cannot, on rocks, the trunks of trees, logs and sand. As learners go "lichen looking", they investigate the numbers, locations and kinds of lichen in their area.
