Researchers with the Nature Trust of New Brunswick have found lichen in what they believe is the most eastern place on record.
The scaly fringe lichen was found between Alma and Riverside-Albert, east of Fundy National Park.
Researchers said lichens can be a good indicator of a healthy environment that can support a variety of species.
Scaly fringe lichen was designated as ‘threatened’ by the federal government in 2022.
