Field Identification of Sedges in July

We are hosting a 2 day workshop by botanist William Moorhead on Wednesday and Thursday, July 6 and 7, 2011 entitled "Field Identification of Sedges (Carex) of Northwestern Connecticut." This program will emphasize the ecology and value of these often hard to identify plants, which constitute the most diverse genus of vascular plants in Connecticut.
 
The location is White Memorial Conservation Center, 80 Whitehall Rd., Litchfield, Connecticut 06759. The time is 9:00am to 6:00pm on both days, with an optional lab session on Wednesday evening from 7:00 to 10:00pm. Transportation to nearby field sites will be by instructor and participants.
 
The tuition is $225. This cost includes lunch and beverages on both days of the workshop, and use of dormitory facilities and kitchen on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. To register or for more information, contact Aton Forest at (860) 542-5125 or contact@atonforest.org, or Bill Moorhead at (860) 567-4920 or whmoorhead@optonline.net.

CANCELLED - June workshops on grasses and willows

The two workshops scheduled for June, to be led by botanist Bill Moorhead, have been cancelled. One was on the field identification and ecology of grasses (I) scheduled for June 14 -15. The other was the field identification of Willows (Salix) scheduled for June 22. We will try again next year. We are still hoping to get Bill to lead workshops on the field identification of Sedges (Carex) on July 6 – 7 and the field identification and ecology of grasses (II) on September 21 – 22. Thank you for your patience.
