Reading the Landscape Plant Walk

THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED FOR TODAY! WE WILL TRY TO RESCHEDULE IN THE COMING WEEKS.
Join Friends of Sears Island for a plant identification walk on Sears Island. This hands-on class will be an interactive walk across the beaches, wetlands, and uplands of the island. With a keen eye and interest, you will begin to learn how to positively identify trees, shrubs, and flowering plants. As some plants only grow in certain ecosystems, we will use the ecosystem to support the identification process. This class welcomes all who want to sharpen their identification skills and deepen their relationship with the living ecosystems of Sears Island.
