This Native Plant Trust course is an intensive training on botanical survey approaches and methods for cataloging the vascular plants in a natural landscape. We will cover the essential steps of planning the survey, including use of field guides, aerial photography, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) resources, sampling strategies, and field-data form design. Next, we will put the methods into practice by conducting a field survey on conserved land, identifying and recording the plant species and habitats we encounter, and compiling an inventory and accompanying report. Neela de Zoysa is the instructor, and the virtual session takes place September 29 from 6:30 – 8:30, and the live session at Garden in the Woods in Framingham takes place October 1 from 10:30 – 2:30. $108 for NPT members, $132 for nonmembers.
