Picture of participants at Wetland workshop.
Basic Plant Identification for Wetland Delineation

Participants will be introduced to the process of identifying wetland and aquatic plants using technical keys. No prior use of keys or previous identification experience is assumed, making this truly a “basic” course. Planned workshop activities include an introduction to plant keys and plant key structure during the morning of day one. Participants will learn basic plant structure and morphology during the afternoon of day one. Woody (trees and shrubs) plant identification will be emphasized during the morning of day two. Herbaceous plant identification (with emphasis on rushes, hedges and grasses) will be the focus during the afternoon of day two and the morning of day three. A survey will conclude the planned activities. A mixture of lab and field work is planned. A certificate of participation and University of Wisconsin-Extension Continuing Education Units will be awarded to each participant.
