LYCOPODS — THE ANCIENT WONDERS
PREVIOUS WALK&TALK
"What if we invited more folks to join us on a botanical walk and dive deep into the lives of lycopods (one of the oldest plant families) but also discuss life in general?," Radvile and I mused during our very first meet-up in the pine woods.

Radvile's been building this deep connection with lycopods, all while she's been nose-deep in her doctoral papers. And what's cool is her knack for turning complex science into words we all get. It's not just interesting—it transforms how we connect with these plants.
Now, fast forward a year — same month, same woods. We are accompanied by lovely humans eager to journey into the world of lycopods, those ancient botanical wonders. We had a chat about how they've influenced ecosystems both ancient and present, how they deal with stuff like resilience and adaptation (and how we as humans (not)understand it), and even their kind of mysterious methods of securing future generations.
