Wetland Plant Identification
with Ted Elliman, Senior Botanist
Co-sponsored with New England Wild Flower Society
Some of the most productive ecosystems on earth are wetlands, but apart from their proximity to water, wetland habitats vary considerably. This is your chance to learn about the distinctive ecology and common indicator species of various wetland community types. Following a lecture on Thursday evening, the class on Friday will visit a red maple swamp, a floodplain marsh, and a pond to observe ferns, sedges, and various aquatic species as well as shrubs and trees. Bring a hand lens (if you own one), lunch, and water; come prepared for wet feet. MACC Members $72, non-members $90.
