I have at least three diff kinds of lichen in my trees. They are beautiful and sometimes I bring a piece in to create an arrangement with shells or small interesting rocks. Glad to know that they are indicating a healthy forest❣️

I admire your respect for the modesty of the lichen!

That's good to know. I find Attenborough's perspective interesting in that he separates himself from the earth as though we're not all one. I mean, it's helpful for science and for enjoyment, etc., but in the end we need to think of ourselves not as separate but as a common species among other species.
