Willows (Salix) are a well-known and taxonomically difficult group of woody plants whose members can be found from sea level to the tops of the highest mountains in New England. With 30 species (and hybrids between some of them), willows present identification challenges that can seem insurmountable. However, everyone can learn how to distinguish the different willows. This January 20 Native Plant Trust webinar is designed to give novice and skilled botanists a chance to understand the vegetative morphology of this genus and organize the diversity present on the regional landscape into manageable groups. Taught by Arthur Haines, from 1 – 2 pm, it is $12 for NPT members, $15 for nonmembers. Register at http://www.nativeplanttrust.org/events/demystifying-willowsthursday-january-20-2022-1-2-pm/
