Thursday, May 20, 9:30 am – 12:30 pm – Gilding the Liliaceae

by

Join Ted Elliman at Garden in the Woods on May 20 at 9:30 am for an overview of the vibrant Liliaceae family. You will learn native and non-native species of the lily and allied families that are present in New England, the morphological features that distinguish the different families, and the habitats and distribution of each species in the region. We cover species that still are in the lily family as well as those that recently split from Liliaceae into other families. $45 for NPT members, $54 for nonmembers. Masks required.

Tuesday, May 18, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Bird Monitoring and Habitat Assemblages, Online

by

By identifying the song of a warbling vireo (Vireo gilvus) in a riparian stream habitat, or that of a Black-throated green warbler (Setophaga virens) in a mixed coniferous-hardwood forest, an observer can deduce characteristics about the habitat. Monitoring birds in an area over a period of time can help us understand the habitat type, quality, and management. This Native Plant Trust virtual class on May 18 at 1 pm will explore assemblages between Massachusetts Natural Community types and the bird species found in those community types, as well as structural components that are critical for these bird species. Taught by Bud Sechler, the fee is $12for NPT members, $15 for nonmembers. Register at http://www.nativeplanttrust.org/events/bird-monitoring-and-habitat-assemblages/
