Plant Identification for Wetland Delineators
Course Overview
This four-day course is designed to provide practical skills for identifying vascular plant species commonly encountered in conducting wetland delineations. Through a combination of field site visits and classroom familiarization with the use of floristic keys, students will learn plant identification principles, descriptive vocabulary, and diagnostic characteristics of plant species. All species are fair game, but the focus will be on plants frequently encountered by wetland delineators on the wetland-nonwetland interface of a wide variety of Upper Midwest habitats. Participants will be provided a checklist of species likely to be encountered during the course. In addition, participants will be exposed to a wide variety of resources useful identifying additional plants they may encounter in their future field work. Plant lists are provided.
This course is intended for participants of all levels, including those without any botanical background.
32 contact hours/ Instructor: Newling.
