Native Plant Identification and Leaf Morphology

2023-09-16 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am PDT

Native Plant Identification and Leaf Morphology

Saturday, September 16, 9:30 AM

Nur Pon Open Space Preserve (changed from Whiskeytown)

 

Co-sponsored by Shasta Chapter CNPS and Shasta Environmental Alliance, this series of three field trips will focus on native plant identification from a more academic perspective.  This first class will focus on leaves; the other two will focus on different topics and be offered over the course of the coming months.

During this first class, we will examine the leaf morphology of the plants that we see, and how leaf construction can be specific to genera or even species.  We will also talk about the processes of photosynthesis (food production), abscission (leaf fall), and photoperiodism (color change).

We will walk about 1 mile on generally even ground, but closed-toe shoes are recommended.  No dogs, please.  Heavy rain cancels; bring an umbrella for light rain.  Meet at Nur Pon Open Space Preserve at 9:30 AM.

A list of native plants on the trail will be provided to participants.

For more information, please contact David Ledger at david@ecoshasta.org
