We are in a heat wave but some organisms are lichen it! Christmas lichens (Cryptothecia rubrocincta) are often referred to as bubblegum lichen here in the Southeast but it is not True bubblegum lichen (typically found in New England or Pacific Northwest). Christmas lichen is an epiphytic, subtropical species that is commonly found on hardwoods and they act as a vital indicator species because they are extremely sensitive to air pollutants.

Although we do not have campsites here at Hofwyl, We do want to remind the public that we are still experiencing drought conditions and to conserve water as much as possible! Also, a reminder of the burn bans!

The State of Georgia is currently under a Level 1 Drought Response, as issued by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD).

To help conserve water and protect our natural resources, the following measures are now in effect throughout the park:

Water Use Guidelines:
•Avoid unnecessary water use whenever possible.
•Limit shower times and turn off water while brushing teeth or washing dishes.
•Do not leave faucets running unattended.
•Report any leaks or dripping fixtures to park staff immediately.

Outdoor Water Use:
•Washing of vehicles, campers, or equipment by guests is prohibited.
•Use of hoses should be minimized and only used for essential purposes.

These small steps make a big difference in preserving water resources during dry conditions. We appreciate your cooperation in helping protect the environment and ensuring a safe, enjoyable experience for all visitors.
