Welcome to the official website of the Virginia Lichen Project! This ongoing project represents an effort to catalogue the diversity of lichens found in the state of Virginia, USA. This work is led by Brendan Hodkinson (bph8@duke.edu), with the assistance of numerous researchers and amateur lichenologists. The first checklist of Virginia lichens (Hodkinson et al. 2009) is available under 'checklist' in the menu to the left. Feel free to peruse the various events, photos, and links associated with this project... and please check back for updates!
