Join lichen photographer and Department of Environmental Conservation Steward, John Franklin, for a walk and talk on lichens, those intrepid little organisms that we see growing on trees and rocks throughout the Park Preserve. Prior to the hike, John will share his collection of amazing, close-up, photographs of lichens and actual samples of the colorful lichens found here.
