In the second episode of our webinar series, taxonomist Diane Haughland discusses what lichens are, the ABMI's lichen monitoring and research, and why collecting data on lichens in the province is important to Albertans and helps to support sustainable land-use decision making. 

A recording of this webinar is available on our YouTube channel. 

The ABMI is pleased to present the “It’s Our Nature to Know” webinar series. From taxonomic discoveries and geospatial research to tools and platforms that bring the data to life—join us to learn more about the many facets of the ABMI. Each month a different ABMI staff member will explain how and why we monitor the different aspects of Alberta's landscape and biodiversity, and how the data we collect helps to inform land-use decision-making.
