Lichens are fascinating growths, says Duncan Wright, from PALE – that’s Petersfield Area Lichen Enthusiasts.
Lichen are everywhere on the Heath – on the trees and pioneering species growing on the bins – you’ll even find them on the wall by the Post Office.
Duncan tells Mike Waddington all about them and the awe they inspire under the magnifying glass.
Duncan gives talks with his colleague Peter Bisset and he gives a lively interview here.

Later Duncan wrote: I forgot to give my favourite quote: by Camille Pissarro, the French impressionist painter — “Blessed are those who see beautiful things in humble places where others see nothing!” I’ve always believed that he had lichenologists in mind!! 😂😂
