We all have important values and ideas, things we care about and want to share. The Grandfather's Beard is just one of
those ideas. So little is known about this lichen which has single-handedly united seven students with one purpose. Nestled
in the mountains of Hazelton, BC this lichen was plucked out of a tree and has come to symbolize what is now known as the
Interprofessional Rural Program of British Columbia (IRPbc).
This site will present IRPbc's cause and ideas to the world. We will include specific information about our team and
its members, so no one forgets the people behind the pictures.
In low-lying areas, the deciduous oaks are decorated with a lace-like lichen called grandfather's beard; its presence
is an indication that summer fog occurs here, because this lichen is dependent on high humidity for much of its water.
