Like Lichens?

If you like lichens, how about having one named after you?

Naming rights to  two new species found by botanical researcher Trevor Goward will be auctioned off as fundraisers for two B.C. environmental groups: the Ancient Forest Alliance and The Land Conservancy.

Two top BC botanists are already in on the bidding: Wade Davis and Andy MacKinnon.

You may find how the bidding is going at Andy MacKinnon's presentation on "Plants & Fungi with a Fun-Guy" at the Wilderness Centre on Sunday July 31 at 1 p.m. Pre-registration before July 29 is necessary for this Centennial event - contact coordinator (at) strathconapark.org
