Survey of New England Ferns in Maine
No
No
Don and Ray have offered this workshop annually since 1999, but never before in Maine. We begin with a review of our fern flora, the 68 species that are native to New England. After an introductory discussion, we display photographs, drawings, and frond silhouettes. Field ID techniques are reviewed. An outdoor field session follows with a visit to many ferns on the Delta property, then Lycopodiella club-moss and other taxa at a nearby quarry. Geared to students with some experience and comfort in fern taxonomy. Bring a bag lunch and a hand lens.
