SUMMARY:Plant Taxonomy: The Identities of Plants
DESCRIPTION:Sabrina Sewell\, botanist \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\nTaxonomy is the fundamental branch of science that names and classifies all elements of the world around us\, including living things. A plant taxonomist specializes in determining groupings\, relationships and ultimately\, the names and identities of plants. This process utilizes pertinent data such as phylogenetics\, phytogeography and phenology\, but most essentially\, plant morphology—the forms of plant parts. In this multi-session virtual course\, students will focus on the diverse morphological characteristics of plants (including descriptors of leaves\, flowers\, roots\, etc.) and their utility in identifying unknown plants. Students will also survey the history\, principles and practices of plant taxonomy as a discipline and be guided through the process of plant identification via dichotomous keys. It is recommended\, but not necessary\, that students take Basic Botany before this class. \n\n\n\nCourse Structure\n\n\n\nThis class consists of four elements: a series of pre-recorded introductory videos; at-home exercises exploring plant anatomy\, collecting and dichotomous keys; an in-person lab session or virtual lab session; and a wrap-up discussion session through Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nPart 1 – Introductory Video Lectures – content released March 4\n\n\n\nPart 2 – At-Home Exercises – content released March 4\n\n\n\nPart 3 – Plant ID Lab – choice of in-person session March 28\, 10 a.m.–noon or 1–3 p.m. OR virtual session March 30\, 6–8 p.m.\n\n\n\nPart 4 – Online Discussion Session – Zoom March 31; 6 – 7 p.m.\n\n\n\n\nThis class is a core class for the Certificate in Native Plants.

SUMMARY:Groundcover Restoration - Canceled
DESCRIPTION:Heather Brasell\, environmental educator \n\n\n\n\n\nThis cl­­­ass will visit a variety of sites to compare and contrast different groundcover restoration projects and management practices. With an emphasis on management decisions rather than on identifying specific plants\, this course will discuss common challenges\, successes and landscape restoration strategies while managing invasive plant species. The types of restoration sites and projects surveyed in this class will include: minimum understory management (thin and burn)\, economy understory restoration (thin and burn with limited use of supplemental seeds)\, high-quality seed mix for pollinator gardens\, conversion from turf grass to meadow and wetland rehabilitation. Please note that this class is located outside of the Athens area.
