The Society was formed in 1958 to stimulate and advance interest in all branches of lichenology. The first society in the world entirely devoted to the study of lichens, it has many overseas as well as British members.
For photos of lichens go to UK Lichens website (held by one of our members, Mike Sutcliffe). You can also contribute photos to this website and help build on this important resource.
