Required Equipment
A magnifying loupe of at least 20-30 power is suggested. A lighted loupe works best in darker forest settings. Look for a loupe with a reasonably broad lens.
The leaders frequently use a camera with a macro lens in identification. Images of mosses and lichens have lasting value in committing to memory greatly varied Bryophytes and Lichens.
