Tiny Critters on Giant Trees

Details:

Join the Sempervirens Fund for their series “Under the Redwoods” and a special talk from the Garden’s Tucker lichenologist and curator of the lichenarium, Dr. Rikke Reese Naesborg.

Rikke will discuss how redwoods support rich communities of epiphytes growing high in their crowns, including a diversity of lichens, bryophytes, and vascular plants. Explore epiphyte study results from the northern and southern redwood range, which factors drive community composition, and how they compare with other conifers.

In this webinar series, The Sempervirens fund invites experts and thinkers to join them to explore magnificent redwood forests, what makes redwoods so special, why they thrive here and nowhere else in the world, and what they mean to us in our lives.
