Lichen themed talks

Two of the recipients of a BSO grant to attend the 2025 John Child Bryophyte and Lichen Workshop give presentations. Lily Donahue's talk is “Second Skin: lichens and the pliable plane”. She will cover the historical associations of lichens and textile (including the chemistry of lichen dyes and potential future research to be done on NZ lichen species as sources of dyes). Kacey Hutchison will also give a lichen themed talk.
