A new online group is starting soon with the first meeting planned for the evening of Tues 21st January 2025 and monthly thereafter. It's for anyone who's been looking at lichens for a while and is familiar with the basics of lichen ID (ie an experienced beginner or perhaps early intermediate), but wants to move on to the next level. It's described as an informal self-learning support forum where there will be a few more experienced lichenologists who can offer advice. It's not a tutorial but there might be the occasional talk.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are now unable to print out photos for this competition for display at the BLS AGM. Instead, we aim to share an online folder with all entrants, AGM attendees, and BLS members to showcase the photos and to facilitate online voting.

The course should appeal to you if you have had an interest in looking at and identifying lichens for a while, can identify some of these using the basic toolkit of handlens and chemicals such as K and C, and Dobson’s field guides, and now wish to improve your skills.

The joint meeting of the British Lichen Society with BrioLi-ICHN in Catalonia 28 July- 3 August 2024 was a great success, with the British contingent introduced to an astonishing range of species in habitats ranging from Mediterranean holm oak forest, to ski-station summit, to gypsum desert, to rocky mountainside. The Catalan team, led by Maria José Chesa and Antonio Gómez-Bolea, shared their knowledge of the lichens, botany, geology and culture that make this such a wonderful place to visit.
