The Pahove Chapter and The College of Idaho are co-sponsoring an Aquatic Plants Identification Workshop scheduled for October 22 – 23, 2015 at the College of Idaho in Caldwell. The workshop will be limited to the first 24 registrants. The first day of the workshop will be in a classroom setting. The second day will be in the field. Dr. Barbara Ertter will be the lead instructor both days.
By October, the field season is largely long past … at least on dry land. However, in, on, and around lakes, streams, and other wetlands, delightfully diverse aquatic plants are still going strong. For those willing to get their feet muddy, a whole new world of botanizing opens up, representing families both familiar and otherwise, from Alismataceae to Zosteraceae. Because of the broad spectrum of plants that will be covered, the workshop will focus more on gaining familiarity with families and genera, relying on fresh material and illustrations rather than keys to species. Please join us if you can.
