2. WINNER! Victoria artist Anne Hansen makes winning bid in the New Species Conservation Auction!

Victoria artist Anne Hansen, aka. Oystercatcher Girl (see https://oystercatchergirl.blogspot.com/), made the winning $4000 bid for the naming rights to a newly described species of old-growth forest lichen loaned by UBC’s lichen curator Trevor Goward to the AFA as a fundraiser. Congratulations Anne!  She has named the lichen Bryoria kockiana, after her late husband Henry Kock, a renowned environmentalist and horticulturalist who was the public face of the University of Guelph Arboretum for many years.
