Wisconsin Wildflowers & Weeds 2008
About the Class
Wisconsin Wildflowers and Weeds will give you the skills to identify 200 of the most beautiful wildflowers of Wisconsin and the knowledge to better understand and enjoy them. Using the pictorial field guide Wildflowers of Wisconsin as our text, we will focus on one plant group per week: weedy species, prairies, southern forests, northern forests then wetlands. We will emphasize how to identify each wildflower and you will become able to recognize many of these plants even when they are not in bloom. We will also touch upon wildflower natural history and ecology, the principles of plant classification, basic botanical terminology, and Wisconsin plant community types. You will gain the ability and confidence to expand your knowledge of wildflowers beyond what is covered in this course. It is recommended that you purchase Wildflowers of Wisconsin by Stan Tekiela. This course is designed for the beginner wildflower enthusiast.
The text, Wildflowers of Wisconsin, is available in most libraries and bookstores. In addition, the instructor will have the book available for purchase (by check) on the first night of class.
