Fern (and horsetail) Identification Course
Fern (and horsetail) Identification Course
La Platte Nature Park in Shelburne
Friday, August 28 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
(stay longer: enjoy lunch in the field with friends, walk one of the trails , or hit the water)
Do you know how to recognize a Marsh fern compared to the Massachusetts fern? Can you identify the Royal fern, Sensitive fern, or Lady fern? Which ones are wetland specialists vs upland species? Now is your chance to learn some of the key characteristics of ferns and horsetails. Learn their identification and their wetland classifications. ( I expect there will be other botanizing going on along the way, but ferns will be the focus!).
