Lichens in the Sierra Nevada

Let me begin by saying: I have NO IDEA what I am doing yet regarding lichens. I am at the fragile beginner's stage still. I have joined the California Lichen Society, thereby joining 150+ other people who have succumbed to the allure of these ubiquitous but oft-unnoticed denizens of our world.

This weekend we are headed to the mountains as part of the Sequoia Audubon Society's annual Mono Lake trip. So I decided to see what species of lichens had already been recorded in the Sierra Nevada here in iNaturalist. I went to "Places" and put in Sierra Nevada. Here's what I got:

Owling and Mothing at Bean Hollow Lakes/Cloverdale Ranches

So I didn’t get it together in time to actually have an official Sequoia Audubon Owls-n-Moths night at Cloverdale Ranches. But I have the permissions, and so I can go with my friends. I’ll need a few friends who have moth lamp equipment, but even without that we can go owling! Here’s my suggestion:

Saturday, July 29 – RSVP to this message
Meet at the gas station Mexican restaurant in Pescadero for dinner at 5:00.
We carpool to the property around 6:00 pm – time for birding and general iNat-ting
We set up moth lamps (if we have them) at two locations. We can stay on the property until about 11:00 pm. If we have generators, we have to be very careful to place them on completely bare ground, due to fire risk.
This is POST property that is normally not open to the public

I can take the first fourteen people who respond to this notice. Some of you will receive the notice twice – on email and on iNaturalist. Only one RSVP necessary.

Jennifer
