Join us at Environmental Concern’s campus in St.Michaels for this 2 day field course designed for wetland professionals to improve vegetation identification skills. This course will focus on both tidal and non-tidal wetland plant identification. Emphasis will be placed on key field characteristics of select vascular plant families. Instructor-led and group keying will teach the necessary skills for field identification of wetland indicator species as we visit a variety of wetland habitats on the Eastern Shore.
