Investigating lichens

Introduction

"Many simple projects can be devised using lichens. They are an ideal subject for exploration and study as they can be found both in an urban environment and in the countryside and can be studied throughout the year."

"The projects cover aspects of the curriculum with valuable opportunities for field work, but seldom depend upon detailed identification. We hope that they will capture your imagination and help the development of a scientific approach to exploring the natural world."
