New this summer, our chapter is offering this training in a three day, 7.5 hour course taught by local botanist and professional instructor Abe Lloyd! The course is targeted to novices, and is intended to give a foundation that enables students to continue independently building their identification skills after course completion. The field of plant identification is vast, and in order to narrow and simplify this introduction, it will focus mostly on our native trees and shrubs — but don’t worry, the knowledge and skills learned will be directly transferrable to all the other wonderful plants and wildflowers that you want to identify. The course will be taught mostly or entirely indoors, though real plant materials will be used.
Date and time: Wed July 24 – Fri July 26, 3:00-5:30pm
Location: Bellingham, specific location to be determined
Fee: For WNPS members only: $70, or you may choose a $30 “budget” option. Note that $70 is roughly half the price of similar courses offered by local colleges! For WNPS non-members, to learn about membership, please visit our statewide website.
