April 11 - Invasive Plant Identification

Distinguishing Invasive Plants and Native Look-A-Likes in Late Winter and Early Spring
led by Bill Moorhead

Come learn to identify woody invasive plants in the field!  Late winter/early spring is  prime season to touch up on your skills and get a jump on these pesky plants.  This time of year is ideal for management but identification can be tricky.  With the help of consulting field botanist Bill Moorhead you will learn to identify invasive woody plants in both terrestrial and wetland ecosystems, and distinguish them from those native plants with which they may be confused.

A brief introductory classroom session will be followed by visits to a number of field sites.  In the event of weather too severe for field work, the workshop may be changed into a lab/classroom session using fresh collected specimens.

 Bring a hand lens if you have one, as well as a notebook and pencil.
Please dress appropriately for weather.

BILL MOORHEAD is an independent consulting field botanist based in western Connecticut. He has specialized for 25 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.
