Willows Demystified

Tuesday, May 23, 2018

A workshop led by Bill Moorhead

We will cover the identification and ecology of the 21 southern New England Salix 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 Forest.  This workshop will run, rain or shine.  If the weather is bad enough, we will extend the lab session, using fresh and pressed collected material.  Participants are encouraged to bring specimens.

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.

Lunch is not provided -- participants need to bring their own brown bag lunches.  Water will be provided.

BILL MOORHEAD is an independent consulting field botanist based in western Connecticut.  He has specialized for 28 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.
