Discovering Native Shrubs


Shrubs are an important component of almost all habitats, including many kinds of forests, woodland and wetland edges, and even our yards.  Native shrubs are critical resources for a huge array of wildlife species, and are fascinating subjects for study.  Learn how to identify about 20 common native shrubs, and hear about their historic uses, interactions with insects, and shrub lore. Bring snacks or bag lunch, and a hand lens if you own one.
