Lichen Camp at Goldsmith Lake

Sign the petition to ask Premier Houston to pause all logging activities until old growth forests like those at Goldsmith Lake can be protected

Lichen Camp is up and running! On March 2nd a bunch of people working to protect the proposed Goldsmith Lake Wilderness Area set up a Lichen Camp on Crown land west of Goldsmith Lake, about half an hour’s drive from Bridgetown. The camp will serve as a base for workshops and guided hikes, teaching people about lichens, species at risk and the ecological importance of old forests. The goal of the camp is to continue to educate the public and the government about the importance of biodiversity and the necessity of protecting areas like Goldsmith Lake.

On the same sunny day of March 2nd, citizen scientists were out looking for rare lichens and documenting the amazing variety of life in these forests. More on what they found soon.
