Day 162: I had something a little different on my work schedule today: giving an introduction to lower forest zone plants to two young interns (rangers) from the Park's Education program and their immediate supervisor. Perforce, much of my discussion was about lichens, although I did cover the adaptations seen in both lichens and bryophytes with respect to being able to capture even the slightest moisture to good advantage. That said, these fine folk learned what it is to see the world through the Crow's Eye, and I doubt they'll ever look at a piece of bark or a mossy log in quite the same way again.
