Field Trip: Habitat: White Point Fog Lichens
Date: Saturday, August 23, 2025
Time: 09:00am to 11:30am
Leader(s): Michael Mulroy
Description: Join lichen enthusiast Michael Mulroy for a fascinating exploration of the unique maritime lichens at Morro Bay’s White Point. During the walk, you’ll learn about the charismatic fog lichens, their important ecological roles in coastal habitats, and how to identify several common—and perhaps one or two locally rare—lichen species. The walk involves a short but steep and uneven ascent to the top of White Point Vista, the overlook near the Natural History Museum. This may be challenging for some, so please consider this when registering.
This field trip is NOT ADA accessible, bathrooms are available, and the trip is open to all levels of experience.
Registration: Registration will open on the morning of August 13, 2025 with notification sent to MCAS members and those on the MCAS ALERT EMAIL LIST. Not on the MCAS ALERT EMAIL LIST? CLICK HEREto add your email to this list.
