Thursday, June 26, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm – Exploring Wetland Shrubs

With so many wetland habitats, and a pond, stream, and bog, Garden in the Woods is an excellent field site to examine shrubs that grow in and around wetlands. On Thursday, June 26, from 10 – 2, you will be introduced to 15-20 New England shrubs as well as a handful of shrubs that grow in higher and drier habitats. Please bring lunch, and a hand lens and shrub field guide, if you have them. Roland “Boot” Boutwell, naturalist, will lead this class co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissioners. Fee $53 for members of the sponsoring organizations, $64 for nonmembers. Register at http://www.newfs.org/learn/catalog/wet3019. (Sambucus canadensis, below.)
