WILLOWS DEMYSTIFIED! 
A one-day field identification workshop.


Learn your willows (Salix). 

We will cover the identification and ecology of the 19 Connecticut species and several of the hybrids of this troublesome genus.  The workshop will begin with a lab session at Aton Forest, and then we will hit the field, visiting several sites in the vicinity of Aton.  This workshop will run, rain or shine.  If the weather is bad enough, we will extend the lab session, using fresh collected material.

Each participant should bring: a good quality hand lens with at least 10X magnification; fine-pointed forceps that can be carried in the field; hip waders, knee-high rubber boots, or shoes that can get wet; his/her choice of insect repellant, sun protection; field notebook; collecting bags; camera, if desired.



Coffee and other beverages will be available while at Aton Forest. Lunch is not provided -- participants need to bring their own brown bag lunches.  Water will be provided.
