This New England Wild Flower Society program, Wetlands Species ID in Winter, to be held at Garden in the Woods in Framingham on Saturday, January 15 from 9 – 3, builds knowledge and skills for recognizing wetland trees and shrubs in winter (skunk cabbage, below.)Â The morning session is spent indoors learning key identification features. After lunch, go out in the field to see the plants in their habitats and determine wetland boundaries. Some familiarity with common wetland plants and taxonomy is helpful. Dress warmly and prepare for cold, wet field conditions. Bring a hand lens and a bag lunch. $70 for NEWFS members, $80 for non-members. For more information, log on to www.newfs.org.
