This workshop will focus on the identification and ecology of sedges that occur in New York with a focus on early season species, particularly members of the genus Carex. We will spend time in the field and lab, where access to dissecting microscopes will make examination of the small floral structures easier. This workshop is for all levels. There will be a review of sedge morphology and time for self or group study of specimens that will be supplied and/or that students bring. The field excursions will mostly be at a slow-paced walk, with frequent stops, but there will be some hills.
