Have you been interested in learning more about lichens? Join me, my partner Jason Hollinger (lichenologist and photographer) and John DiDiego (Tremont’s Education Director) in a weekend long lichen workshop – one that integrates lichen taxonomy and ecology with lichen poetics.

The workshop is being held on Valentine’s Day weekend – and lichens are the perfect mascot for mutualistic partnerships: lichens have evolved over 20,000 different species of love worldwide. There’s not just one pattern for an ideal partnership in lichens, so let’s not contrain our human partnerships in that way either!.

Location: Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, Townsend, TN.

Dates: Friday Feb 14 – Sunday Feb 16.
