FIELD TRIP:       Lichens of White Point in Morro Bay  

DATE:                 Sunday, June 30, 2024  

TIME:                  10:00am to 12 Noon  

LEADER:            Michael Mulroy  

Trip is limited to 12 participants - Signups will be taken for 24 hours. Participants will be randomly selected. The remainder will be put on standby status in case of cancellations. Only registered people may attend.

Description: Join lichen enthusiast Michael Mulroy for an exploration of the unique maritime lichen flora of Morro Bay at White Point. During the walk, we will learn about the charismatic fog lichens, discuss the important ecological roles of lichens in coastal habitats, and learn to identify several common and perhaps one or two locally rare lichen species. 

This walk will follow the short but steep and uneven walk up to the top of White Point overlook at the Natural History Museum. Could be difficult for some, so please take this into consideration when registering.  

Restrooms are available. Rain Cancels.
