Mosses and Lichens of the Old Quarry: Look Closely to Reveal a Whole New World
Mosses and Lichens of the Old Quarry: Look Closely to Reveal a Whole New World (1 day)

Walk in the old quarry here at CAT and take a closer look at the many fascinating mosses and lichens that flourish in this part of west Wales.

Although small and often overlooked, mosses and lichens play an important role in many habitats.  As we explore the site at CAT you will learn how they are adapted to cling to rocks, branches and the woodland floor. You will also have an opportunity to examine the specimens you have collected through hand lenses and microscopes, when a whole new world will be revealed.  At the end of the day you should have a greater appreciation of mosses and lichens and be able to identify several common species.

The course begins at 11am and finishes at 4pm, with a break for lunch at 1pm. Please bring a note book, weatherproof clothes and sturdy footwear.
