By collecting optical and infrared photometry, as well as medium resolution spectroscopy, we have discovered a sample of low mass stars and brown dwarfs in the young cluster IC2391. Using the lithium depletion boundary near the substellar limit, we have estimated the age of the cluster as ~50 Myr. We have also studied the Hα emission in this sample.
