No really! California has an amazing diversity of lichens, found in every sort of natural habitat. Author and photographer Stephen Sharnoff will astonish you with the many forms and colors of our native lichens, as well as details of their natural history.
Stephen Sharnoff is a botanical photographer based in Berkeley. He and his late wife Sylvia Sharnoff did the photographic fieldwork for Lichens of North America, published by Yale University Press in 2001. A Field Guide to California Lichens (2014) is published by the same press in 2014. Nearing completion is a new photographic guide to the wildflowers of the Sierra Nevada, with text by Joanna Clines, Forest Botanist with Sierra National Forest. Stephen’s photographs have been used in many exhibitions, magazines and books.
The talk takes place on Monday November 10 at 7:30 pm, in the UCSC Arboretum Meeting Hall, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz across from Western Drive. Sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Chapter of the California Native Plant Society.
