Distinguishing
Invasive Plants and Native Look-A-Likes in the Growing Season
led by Bill Moorhead
Learn to identify pesky invasive
plants in the field. With the help of
expert botanist Bill Moorhead you will learn to identify invasive plants in
both terrestrial and wetland ecosystems, as well as become familiar with native
plants that may potentially be confused.
A brief 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.
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. 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.
NOTE: This workshop needs a minimum of 12 participants to run.
