SUMMARY:Plants We Love to Hate: Identifying and Controlling Non-native Invasive Pest Plants
DESCRIPTION:Gary Crider\, naturalist and invasive plant control specialist \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is an introduction to identifying and controlling invasive\, non-native pest plants. Students will learn about the major “offenders” in the Georgia Piedmont and how these plants harm native plant communities and wildlife. The class will also focus on habitat restoration through the management and control of invasive plants. A variety of control methods will be outlined\, including descriptions of tools\, techniques and detailed strategies for some of the high-priority species. The lecture portion of this course will last until 12:30 p.m.\, followed by a break and an optional outdoor field study.

SUMMARY:Fungal Ecology & Diversity: The Fascinating World of Fungi
DESCRIPTION:Sam Landes\, treasurer\, Mushroom Club of Georgia \n\n\n\nCornelia Cho\, president\, Mushroom Club of Georgia \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\nFungi are an essential yet often overlooked part of our natural world. In this class\, participants will explore the fascinating diversity of fungi and learn about their structures\, identification and many uses. The course will introduce key aspects of fungal biology and ecology while highlighting the important roles fungi play in natural systems. We will also touch on the culinary side of fungi and their value to people. Through discussion and hands-on examples\, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for the remarkable world of fungi.

SUMMARY:Warm-Season Grasses of the Georgia Piedmont
DESCRIPTION:Zach Wood\, Georgia Native Seed Network manager\, State Botanical Garden of Georgia \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrasses are the most economically and ecologically important plant family\, but most of us know very little about them\, and fewer still know how to identify grasses. In this class\, we will learn to recognize common fall-flowering grass species of the Georgia Piedmont. During the first half of the class\, we will dissect grass plants to learn the basic structures useful for field identification. The last two hours of the class will be spent in the field examining a variety of native and exotic grasses. Be sure to bring a hand lens if you have one.

SUMMARY:Basic Botany: Fundamentals of Plant Biology
DESCRIPTION:Sabrina Sewell\, botanist \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\nExplore the biology of plants in this introduction to general plant anatomy\, morphology\, physiology\, evolution\, and development.
