For such fascinating and beautiful organisms, lichens are incredibly
overlooked. Most mature trees right outside your door will have
several species on the bark. The trail at the Kawartha Highlands
Signature Park has many interesting examples of lichens growing on the trees, rocks, and ground. This walk by the Mississauga River is very scenic both on a large and small scale. Be sure to bring your phone or camera, a hand lens if you have one and binoculars. Dress according to the forecast for the day and wear sturdy footwear as we will be walking over bare rock most of the time.
