We are happy to confirm that we will host the Québec 2021 (July 6-9) joint meeting: “Bryophytes, lichens, and northern  ecosystems in a changing world“. The Québec B(ryophytes) and L(ichens) will bring together prestigious bryological, botanical and lichenological societies. The event is organized by members of the four societies:  International Association of Bryology (IAB), the American Bryological and Lichenological Society (ABLS),  la Société Québécoise de Bryologie (SQB) and The Canadian Botanical Association (CBA, ABC).

The event will take place online, for details see the congress webpage : http://bl2021.org/

We hope you pencil in the date for 2021 and we’ll see you (on-line) in the Quebec BL meeting.
