Non-credit Native Plant Society Workshops at CCC

This summer there will be two Native Plants of Northern Arizona workshops in Flagstaff. PAPAZ graduates, you probably know much of the botanical information already, or you may want a review. Otherwise, please tell your friends about it, and share the attached flyer. Thanks. On June 11-13 and/or August 6-8, the AZ Native Plant Society will offer two non-credit native plant workshops. Each will include information on identifying native plants and invasive weeds, controlling weeds, and landscaping with native plants. We will be making field trips to practice identifying plants and to visit local gardens. Classes will be at the Lone Tree Campus of the Coconino Community College. Register online, at either CCC campus, or by calling 928-526-7654. The fee is $95.00, and the class is limited to 10 students. Questions may be directed to the instructor, Susan Holiday, prior to registration by calling 928-526-9212 or emailing naris123@cs.com Students will need the following items for class: lunch, snacks, water, hat, sunscreen, appropriate footwear, rain jacket, and field identification guide. Plants of Arizona (First or new Second edition) by Anne Orth Epple or the Peterson Field Guide to Southwestern and Texas Wildflowers are recommended. A digital camera is optional.

I took the first class and it was a good experience. It was a nice combination of classroom and field work identifying local native plants and invasive weeds. We were able to put together a great resource book that included plant specimens for later use and other resources (PowerPoints, books, pamphlets) for teaching info to groups that might be interested. Opening are still available for the August class.
