SUMMARY:Using a Key to ID Wildflowers
DESCRIPTION:Using a Key to ID Wildflowers\nwith Scott Dean \nThursday\, April 10  |  10 am – 1 pm \nBRN + BREG |  Elective \nIdentifying wildflowers can both be an art and a technical field of study. Most popular field guides include some kind of key to help users identify flowers that they see out in nature but learning how to use one can be a challenge. Join Scott Dean on this brand new class on how to use the non-technical keys found in two wildflower field guides: Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide and Wildflowers of the Atlantic Southeast. Also bring your hand lens/jeweler’s loupe to inspect plants up close and we recommend using a 7 – 10x power lens for this class. \nWe will have a few copies of each guide and some hand lenses to borrow but please bring your own if you have them. \nThis program takes place in the classroom and outdoors. Please come prepared to walk on gentle\, yet uneven terrain\, and dress appropriately for the weather. \nScott Dean was born and raised in the mountains of southern Appalachia\, specifically the coalfields of West Virginia and southwestern Virginia. He developed the original Ecology\, Botany\, and Zoology curricula for the Blue Ridge Naturalist Program\, and has been both a classroom and field instructor with the program since its inception. He has led walks for UNC Asheville and the Cullowhee Native Plants Conference\, been a featured speaker at the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Wildflower program\, and spoken at various social and civic events in the Asheville area over the last twenty years. \n\nMembers: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
