Delve into the incredible diversity of plants found in the southern Appalachians! In this weekend-long course, we’ll make it easy to learn botanical terms, plant taxonomy, and plant identification. You will participate in several field classes in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, during which you will investigate particular plant communities and learn the plants common to those communities. Emphasis is given to plant distribution and communities, as well as practice with keys and field guides so you can take this plant-identification knowledge anywhere. You never knew botany could be so fun!
Cost: $420
