2012 ASPB Introductory Plant Identification Workshop

This one-day workshop consists of a practical and theoretical introduction to vascular plant identification. Focus is on learning morphology and terminology, and using taxonomic keys and field guides to learn species of a few main plant families in Alberta. This course is designed for people with little or no plant identification experience, and for those who want to refresh their taxonomy and terminology. Registration includes lunch, refreshments, and manuals. Sign up early as previous workshops have filled very quickly. Hand lenses will be used throughout the workshop. If you do not already have a hand lens, you can purchase one for an additional $10.00. Just select the fee that includes the hand lens cost, when registering on-line. A small number of lenses will be available to borrow for the duration of the workshop.
