Collecting samples in the Lauchsee moor, June 2012
Pillerseetreffen 2012
In the summer of 2012, I collected numerous samples from several moors in Tirol, Austria, during the Pillersee seminar—a gathering of microscopists with a wide range of interests. The moors are situated around the village of Sankt Ulrich am Pillersee. My guide to these sites was Angie Opitz, an expert on the local moors and peat bogs and the organizer of the seminar.
