SUMMARY:Natural Communities of Georgia
DESCRIPTION:Register Online\n\n\n\n\nMelanie Flood\, special project botanist\, North Carolina Natural Heritage Program \n\n\n\nThis course covers Georgia’s diverse natural communities and their plants\, including our iconic oak-pine forests\, precious mountain coves\, prairies\, high mountain summits\, pitcher-plant bogs\, granite outcrops and fire-dependent longleaf pine woodlands. We will discuss the environmental factors that influence the vegetation of natural communities\, their ecology and how climate change affects their composition and distribution over time. Natural communities across the state – what makes them special and how to identify them – will be covered as part of this class. This class will be taught virtually over a period of several sessions. \n\n\n\nCourse Structure\n\n\n\nThis course consists of four elements: three live\, online programs and a set of self-paced review exercises. \n\n\n\n\nPart 1 – Online Class Session: Foundations of Natural Communities (2 hours) July 14\, 6 – 8 p.m.\n\n\n\nPart 2 – Online Class Session: Exploring Natural Communities (2 hours) July 16\, 6 – 8 p.m.\n\n\n\nPart 3 – Self-Paced Learning Exercises (1-2 hours of content)\n\n\n\nPart 4 – Online Class Session: Follow-up Q&A Session (2 hours) July 20\, 6 – 8 p.m.

SUMMARY:Insect Pollinators in Our Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Register Online\n\n\n\n\nPaola Barriga\, Faculty\, academic professional\, UGA Department of Plant Biology \n\n\n\n\n\nThis course is designed to allow participants to evaluate plant-insect interactions in gardens from an ecological perspective. For instance\, we will focus on the importance of maintaining plant and insect pollinator diversity and the ecological factors that may influence this outcome. Among the factors that will be discussed in this course are the roles of disease and pesticides in pollinators’ survival and how these factors could interact with plant species to produce certain outcomes. Please note that this course also provides credit for the Plants & Pollinators Specialization.

SUMMARY:Entomology for Gardeners: Identifying & Understanding Common Backyard Arthropods
DESCRIPTION:Register Online\n\n\n\n\nScott Clem\, PhD\, assistant professor of ecology\, Illinois State University \n\n\n\nIn this course\, you will learn how to identify common arthropods (i.e.\, insects and arachnids) that are commonly encountered in Georgia gardens. This class will equip you with the necessary knowledge and tools for distinguishing beneficial insects from those that are potentially harmful to the local ecosystem. As a participant in this course\, you will also learn about common invasive and introduced arthropods as well as simple methods for improving arthropod biodiversity.  \n\n\n\nPlease note that this course also provides credit for the Plants & Pollinators Specialization.

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 Taxonomy 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.
