led by John Anderson
Come learn to identify trees and shrubs in the winter season! The first part of this course will be indoors focusing on botanical terminology, plant morphology, biology, and ecology. The second section will be held outdoors with the goal of identifying plants in the field. This course will be a great refresher for those planning on taking the Invasive Plant Identification workshop on 4/1.
Bring a hand lens if you have one, as well as a notebook and pencil.
Please dress appropriately for weather.
