<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span class="contentpasted0"><span style="color:black">DESCRIPTION:
</span></span><span style="color:black">This hybrid course combines pre-recorded lectures; one in-person lab session (June 16, UW Seattle main campus) to cover difficult groups such as grasses, sedges, and rushes; two in-person all-day field sessions (June
17 and 24); and live virtual office hours.<span class="contentpasted0"> </span>
The course covers important plant families and the identification and natural histories of more than 300 trees, shrubs, forbs, grasses, sedges, rushes, and aquatic plants found in wetland and riparian habitats in low elevation Western Washington.<span class="contentpasted0">
</span>Focus will be on rapid field identification during the growing season and, as applicable, in winter. Whether you’re a wetland consultant, a naturalist, an environmental planner, or ecological restorationist, this course will expand your botanical vocabulary
and proficiency in identifying Washington’s diverse wetland and riparian flora. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
