Wetland Plant Identification

During this workshop we will focus on a variety of wetland community types, their ecology, and common indicator species. Following a short introductory lecture, we will spend most of the day visiting wetland habitats, including a red-maple swamp, a flood-plain marsh, and a pond. While in the field, we’ll take advantage of the season by focusing on ferns, sedges, and various aquatic species, as well as shrubs and trees. Bring a hand lens, lunch, and come prepared for wet feet in the field.

Wednesday, July 9, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
