Presenter: Roberta Burnes, Kentucky Division of Air Quality

Come learn what lichens and native plants can tell us about the air we breathe. Roberta Burnes will teach you how to categorize lichens by their sensitivity to sulfur and nitrogen pollution, and how to identify ozone damage on milkweed and other native plants.
