Basic Plant Identification

  • Saturday, June 11, 2022, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Do you want to be able to identify which plants are which when out in the woods? Come join us for Basic Plant Identification on June 11th at 10:00am where we will go over leaf shape, margins, venation, arrangements, and more. Not sure how some of those words relate to plants? Then this is the course for you! We will talk about different resources available to identify plants, including dichotomous keys and then go outside and put our skills to the test and ID various plants and trees along the trails.

Close-toed shoes, sneakers, or hiking boots are recommended as we will be outside for most of this program. Please dress accordingly for the weather and a walk in the woods.

Fee

Only $4.00 per person with a family rate of $12.00. Children under the age of three are free!
