Details:
Cottonwoods and willows are the most common riparian tree species in California and yet many of us have little idea of how to tell them apart. For the June meeting, Tom Lee will lead a discussion about the Salicaceae (Willow) family.
Even if you don’t have anything to contribute, join us as we look at plant samples and photos and practice methods of identifying the native flowers of our region. We will use a variety of plant books and online resources as we endeavor to improve our understanding of botanical terms used in plant identification. The Chapter has 10x hand lenses and dissecting microscopes that we can use to look at small
plant parts or bring your own lens.
The group meets at 7:00pm on the fourth Tuesday of each month
