Lichen Workshop
and Survey at Chiwaukee Prairie Rich Hyerczyk will be conducting another lichen workshop and survey of lichens at Chiwaukee Prairie. Rich has published several papers on Illinois flora, teaches lichens at Morton Arboretum and Chicago Botanic Garden and has recently completed a lichen survey at Illinois Beach State Park. Until now, there has been no lichen species list for Chiwaukee Prairie so we will be writing one. Click here to view the lichens observed so far for the Chiwaukee Prairie area. Registration is free and open to all interested parties. Meet at the gate at 122nd Street and 2nd Avenue. To register or for further
information, please contact Kay McClelland at 262-554-6326 |
