Tuesday, July 21, 7:00 PM. Ries Lindley: What is a Moss? A Short Story About
a Walk in the Woods
When we walk through the woods and get swept away by the beauty of what we see, we don’t always have time to stop and think about the various microcosms that make up the ecology we see in nature. What are those tiny green plants that can grow in hot, dry deserts or under ice and snow? Ries will take us through an introduction to the wonderful world of mosses. What are they, where can they be found, do they have names, and a few other things you may find interesting.
Ries is a retired city bureaucrat who took up botany in retirement and is still working his way through the plants of Arizona. His interest in mosses was given a big boost by the pandemic of 2019.
