Spring Flora of Riveredge

Riveredge’s Spring Flora course merges plant identification and plant ecology.  Students of all backgrounds are invited to discover flora across 380 acres of our property in the month of May.  The main goals of the course are for students to develop a baseline for plant identification, learn foundational ecological concepts, and to become more familiar with Riveredge’s diverse ecological landscape.  It will be required to bring a copy of Spring Flora of Wisconsin by Fassett, as we will be emphasizing the use of a dichotomous key and understanding basic botanical anatomy.  This course is entirely field-based; be prepared for the weather and an amazing ecological experience!

Fee: $75 per person.
