Friday, February 26, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm – Rare Plant Families

Where have all the flowers gone? Many are in decline, and some more than others. This Native Plant Trust class at Garden in the Woods on February 26 from 10:00 – 1:00 increases participants’ understanding of the most threatened New England plant families. From the orchids to the moonworts, this session assesses status of several plant families of conservation concern. Included is a discussion of actions the Native Plant Trust  and conservationists in the region are conducting to protect the taxa most in need. Michael Piantedosi leads, and the fee is $45 for NPT members, $54 for nonmembers. Cosponsored by the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions. Due to the pandemic, registration is limited, and masks are required. Register at http://www.nativeplanttrust.org/events/rare-plant-families/.
