Join botanist/ecologist Gary Kauffman for a hands-on native grasses workshop
highlighting grass identification and grassland communities. We’ll learn to use a
Southern Appalachian grasses key derived from Weakley’s Flora of the
Southeastern U.S. and other identification tools, look at samples of common
native grasses, and learn a bit about grassland communities and the wildlife they
support. You should come away from the workshop to be more comfortable using
the key to Poaceae (grasses) groups and genera, recognize a dozen common
grasses by sight, and have ample resources to hone your grass skills.
