"Mosses and Lichens, Our Evergreen Pacific Northwest" by Deborah Smeltzer

Welcome to our Camano Wildlife Program for June 15, 2022 - "Mosses and Lichens, Our Evergreen Pacific Northwest" by Deborah Smeltzer. Deborah will talk about two interesting life forms found in abundance in the Pacific Northwest – Mosses and Lichens. For each, she will describe their biology and cultural characteristics, show portraits of the life forms, provide “fun facts”, discuss whether they are “friend” or “foe”, and talk about how to encourage lush moss lawns or how to control them if needed.
