Larry Weber has a wrap-up of December, some good news about tomorrow (the sun starts rising earlier!) and a group of Northland residents who weren't just tolerating last weekend's rain ... they were lichen it.
Phenology with local naturalist Larry Weber every Friday morning at 8:20 on Northland Morning.
Backyard Almanac: what do you get if you cross an algae and a fungi? Hint: it's lich-able.
