Lichen Walk with Hannah Morosoff
Join naturalist Hannah Morosoff for a lichen on January 26th, 2025 at 11am, location TBA. This family-friendly walk for those of all abilities will be about two hours and meander through forest trails, where you will be learn about lichen present that day. Please dress for the weather and bring a backpack with snacks and water and whatever supplies you may need to be comfortable outdoors.
The walk will be led by Hannah Morosoff who has an incredible wealth of knowledge about lichen and mushrooms and we are so excited to continue working with her to host these educational and fun walks. Below is Hannah’s bio for more information about her:
“I am lifelong islander and nature wanderer and Mycology Naturalist Hannah Morosoff. I have been practicing Mycology here for over a decade now and observing mushrooms of Vashon Island since childhood! I have been leading mushroom walks and tours for 3 years now, teaching all of our community members from preschoolers to seniors! In December of 2023, I went from hiking 2-10 miles daily doing field identification and classification, to in the ICU incapable of walking. I now use a wheelchair and cane to get around and am taking the necessary baby steps to get back out there routinely again! While it has been and will be a long road facing Small Fiber Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia, and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, I am a very determined person and have a wonderful community behind me!”
