Did you know that the color of lichen and moss are indicators of the quality of the air? Just a tid-bit. 🙂 Love the blog post.

  Daisy, I did not know that. Do you have any links to articles on lichen and air quality. It would be a great project to examine lichen in different places and actually look at their colors.
