New England Wild Flower Society will sponsor a live webinar with Laney Widener on Tuesday, AUGUST 29 from 6:30 – 7:30 pm on Why Are Some Plants Rare? We see many sugar maples and Canada-mayflowers throughout New England, but relatively few Lapland rosebays (pictured) or Wright’s spikesedges. In this talk,we will examine the primary reasons certain plant species become rare in the landscape, both in New England and beyond. $10 for NEWFS members, $13 for nonmembers.
