Instructor: Stephen Ross

In this introduction to local botany, you will explore Big Rapids’ parks learning to identify plants, plant structure, how to use a plant key in the field, and some plant ecology.

You should be able to walk one to two miles at a leisurely pace on level ground. Plan on wearing comfortable clothes, shoes, and a hat. Bug spray and sun screen may come in handy. You may also want to bring a pen, notebook, and plant field guide (if you have one) but not required. A cell phone or camera may be helpful.
