Biographical history
Susan Stevenson is an independent wildlife biologist and an adjunct faculty member at UNBC. She has been studying the effects of forestry practices on habitat for wildlife for nearly 25 years, mostly in the Interior Wetbelt. She is especially interested in wildlife that depend on habitat attributes found in old forests, and how they can be maintained in managed stands. Her interest in the Mountain Caribou and its habitat has drawn her into studies of the ecology of arboreal lichens. She is also interested in wildlife trees, coarse woody debris, and how they are affected by various harvesting practices. As well as conducting research, Susan is active in teaching and extension. She is a Wildlife/Danger Tree Assessor's Course instructor and a frequent guest lecturer at UNBC and the College of New Caledonia. She has prepared a number of extension notes and other publications for forestry and habitat managers and field staff.

Scope and content
This two volume lichen key (I. Arboreal Lichens, II. Terrestrial Lichens) includes original botanical samples of lichen species in the Prince George area. An introductory excerpt is provided below:
Using the Keys:
The keys are designed to permit a non-specialist to identify some of the more common and conspicuous lichens of the Prince George area, with emphasis on those that are used as forage by caribou. It will not be possible to identify all specimens with these keys. Two keys are provided: one for arboreal and one for terrestrial lichens. The arboreal lichen key includes species that grow on living or dead trees or shrubs. The terrestrial lichen key includes species growing on soil or humus, and in a few cases on rock. Some terrestrial lichens may also grow on old, rotten logs on the forest floor. They keys require the use of a hand lens or low-power dissecting microscope. Color descriptions refer to dry lichens.
