**The November Nature Moncton monthly meeting is happening this
coming Tuesday night at 7:00 PM and all are welcome to join in at the link
below or join the group at the Rotary Pavilion to watch the presentation from there.
Plants have gone into their winter siesta and the leaves have
mostly fallen; however, lichens continue at their prime ready to be admired. We
have many lichen species in New Brunswick, but Kendra Driscoll will help us to
call the common ones by their first names and tell us just what makes this
community in Mother Nature tick. All details of the meeting are below:
** Nature Moncton November Meeting
November
15, 2022, at 7:00 PM
Subject:
Getting to Know Common Lichens
Speaker:
Kendra Driscoll - New Brunswick Museum
Moncton
Rotary Lodge
Lichens are
a fascinating community in Mother Nature’s world, and they are with us to enjoy
all year long.
Kendra
Driscoll, Curatorial and Research Technician for Botany and Mycology at the New
Brunswick Museum, is a specialist in lichens and has helped us appreciate
lichen photos submitted to Nature News, always with nice-to-know commentary.
Kendra will
tailor her presentation to amateur lichen appreciation by introducing 10 of the
most commonly encountered species with some identification features of each to
help us enjoy our outdoor experiences all the more by being able to call
several by name.
Expect
Kendra’s contagious enthusiasm to get us all looking a bit more closely at
something that cooperatively will stay still to be checked out and does not
have to be stalked to look at!
All are
welcome, Nature Moncton member or not.
This
presentation will be delivered virtually at the Zoom link below. We will also have our usual meeting in the Rotary Pavilion at Mapleton Park where those who want to gather will watch the presentation on the screen.
