Interested in knowing the names of the challenging fall wildflowers you encounter in the meadow? Then take this class where you’ll learn to “key-out” local plants using the popular Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide. Other field guides can be used, but the instruction will focus on the terminology and methodology of Newcomb's.

Please consider buying Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide before the program and reading the beginning sections. A few copies of the guide and extra lenses will be available to borrow.

Bring: Water, lunch or snacks, field guides, hand lens, binoculars, hat, sunscreen, tick/insect repellent. Ticks and chiggers may be present. No water is at the site, portable toilets are available.

Fee is per person.
