Learn 10...Shrubs at Mountain Top Arboretum

Dan Spada

Saturday, August 23, 1 – 4:30 pm

The NY Flora Association and Mountain Top Arboretum are collaborating to present a botanical training program pioneered by the NYFA.  This is a beginner’s course on how to identify 10 native shrub species using keys, guides and their senses during a combination of lab and field sessions. Instruction will be provided on the use of keys and guides as well as field signs to be able to native shrubs identify shrubs. 

Most walking will be on trails so appropriate footwear should be used. Be prepared with snacks, adequate water, and sunscreen and appropriate clothing for the forecast. Ticks may be present so be prepared to repel. A handlens would be useful.
