Learn 10...Wetland Plants at Braddock Bay

Rachel Schultz, Botanist, SUNY Brockport

Saturday, August 24th | 10 am – 1 pm

The NY Flora Association will present a botanical training program pioneered by the NYFA at the Braddock Bay Park in Greece, NY. During the training, participants will learn how to use identification keys, how to create their own keys, and will learn the diagnostic features of 10 Great Lakes Coastal Wetland plant species.

“Learn 10…” is a program of the NY Flora Association (NYFA) designed to help people of all ages and levels of knowledge begin learning the plants of New York. “Learn 10…” focuses on a group of only ten plants to teach simple techniques for easily identifying any plant or, in this case, the fruits of the plants and the seeds they contain. “Learn 10…” is a fun and interactive way to learn plants and develop a deeper appreciation of the natural world.

We will spend time observing the species along trails and a boardwalk at the park, so please come prepared with hiking or knee boots and long pants and sleeves. Please bring a lunch, water, and sunscreen. A 10x hand lens would be great to bring, but there will be lenses available for those that need them.

If you have any questions about the trip before registering, please email wetlandplants@nyflora.org.

All NYFA Learn 10 workshops are free and open to all.

NYFA relies on the generous support of its members to offer free Field Trips and Learn 10 workshops. If you are able, please consider a donation to help support these efforts.
