SUMMARY:Lichens - What's Not to Like?
DESCRIPTION:Look! Up in the tree! It’s an alga! It’s a fungus! It’s both! It’s a superlichen! \nCome discover the fascinating world of lichens during a hands-on presentation that will be of interest to students and adults. These amazing ‘organisms’ are combinations of fungal tissues embedded with algal cells. Lichens exist in a symbiotic relationship known as mutualism in which both member species benefit from the partnership. You may be surprised to learn who was one of the first people to discover what lichens really are. Examine the wide variety of lichen colors\, shapes\, growth patterns\, and even ‘behaviors.’ Learn about lichens’ ecological importance to other members of their habitat. There’s even an economic importance to humans as they may use lichens in some of their hobbies. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<

SUMMARY:Plant This\, Not That!
DESCRIPTION:Plant This\, Not That!\nAlternatives to Common Invasive Plants \nInvasive plants are non-native plants that have been introduced to the state (either intentionally or unintentionally) and have the potential to cause harm to the environment\, economy\, or human health. These plants often outcompete native species\, disrupting natural ecosystems and causing various problems. \nMany common landscape plants in central Florida are actually invasive species that are shared between unknowing home gardeners and sold commercially (because they may not be a problem elsewhere)\, adding to their spread. \nCome and learn about these common invasive plant species to avoid\, and which species should be used in your home landscape instead! \n\n>> GET TICKETS <<< \n\n \nWhat you do in your landscape matters. From the fertilizers you apply to the water you use\, your gardening choices can have an impact on land\, water\, wildlife\, and the overall well-being of Florida’s residents. \nThe Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) Program is here to help you learn how to have healthy and beautiful landscapes that protect Florida’s natural resources by following nine science-based principles: \n\nRight Plant\, Right Place\nWater Efficiently\nFertilize Appropriately\nMulch\nAttract Wildlife\nManage Yard Pests Responsibly\nRecycle Yard Waste\nReduce Stormwater Runoff\nProtect the Waterfront\n\nA Florida-Friendly landscape can be designed to look the way you want\, fit the aesthetics of your community\, and suit your lifestyle\, while being environmentally sustainable. Join us to learn how! \nThis lecture is presented by Kate Kaste\, UF/IFAS Extension Pasco County\, FFL Program Manager. \n>>> GET TICKETS <<<
