INVASIVE PLANT WORKSHOP CANCELLED

I’m sorry to inform you that the workshop on invasive plants identification and their native look-alikes has been cancelled.

We hope to hold a similar workshop with Bill Moorhead on invasive and native plants later this year but with leaf-on. And, of course, for those who want the later winter/early spring identification, we will try to host this workshop again in 2014.

If you have any further questions please call me at Aton Forest, 860-542-5125 (leave a message) or reply to this email.

Thanks for your interest in the Aton Forest workshop program.

John Anderson, Executive Director

Invasive Plants Workshop led by Bill Moorhead, March 28

“Distinguishing Invasive Plants and Native Look-a-likes in Late Winter and Early Spring.” An Aton Forest workshop led by Bill Moorhead

 

Thursday, March 28, 2013, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM at Aton Forest Headquarters, 270 North Colebrook Road, Norfolk, CT 06058

 

This workshop focuses on field identification of woody wetlands and terrestrial invasive plants in late winter/early spring, prime season for pulling invasives but a difficult time to identify many plants using guides and manuals, as many are somewhere between dormant and leaf-on state.  The workshop is designed for people who are already interested in and/or involved in hands-on invasive plant control in wetlands, fields and forests, including land managers associated with land trusts, professionals looking to brush up on their skills, and private land owners managing their properties as natural areas.

 

Enrollment is limited to 15 participants per session. Tuition is $80.00. Those who register after March 25th, the tuition is $95.00. Please make checks out to “Aton Forest, Inc.” and mail to Aton Forest, Inc., PO Box 509, Norfolk, CT 06058.

 

Instructor: Bill Moorhead, Consulting Field Botanist, email: whmoorhead (at) optonline.net.

Bill Moorhead is an independent consulting field botanist based in western Connecticut.  He has specialized for 20 years in the search for populations of rare plants and their habitats, and the study of plant communities and the factors determining their species composition and distribution.  He has worked in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Virginia.  Highlights of his work include the rediscovery of 26 plants species resumed extirpated in CT, and the discovery of over 600 new populations of rare plants.  He leads plant and plant community walks and canoe-trip “eco-tours”, and teaches plant identification workshops in difficult plant groups, such as sedges, grasses, asters and goldenrods, as well as invasive species and their native look-a-likes.
