Certificate in Native Plants -Core Class - Native Plant Communities with Mary Priestley & Charlotte Freeman
Overview: Plant Communities is a biology/ecology-based core course required
for the Certificate in Native Plants. It will be an in-person course scheduled for six
hours of instruction and self-study. The course will be a combination of outdoor
observations and PowerPoint presentations. Students will go home with
instructions to adopt a plant community of his/her choosing and using guiding
questions, prepare a report to be returned to the instructors by June 15. The
report must be completed to obtain credit for the course.
Preparing for Class: There is no internet at the venue so your pre-class
assignment will be to watch the following video on Grasslands:
www.segrasslands.org/video This is a video to promote saving grasslands but it
has good information about those communities. You can ignore the solicitations.
Post Class: Your post class assignment will be a study on a plant community of
your choice. Further instructions will be given at the class. This study is required
for credit for the class.
