Learn to love lichens with an introduction to the species at Big Burn

Do you like Lichen? Have you never heard of it before but want to know more? Join the Ranger for a short walk to discover a whole new world!

Lichen are a combination of fungi and algae working together to support each other and they come in a variety of colours, shapes, sizes and forms. They were one of the first organisms to start colonising the earth and they can tell us a lot about our environment. They are well worth getting to know better.
