This is an wonderful opportunity for individuals new to the flora of southwest Michigan to practice working with a technical key with the support of expert guidance. Get keyed into the life of plants and become familiarized with plant taxonomy and ecology. We will learn how to use a plant identification key (i.e., dichotomous key) to set you up for identifying the many plants that call Michigan home. The focus is to introduce folks to the plants that make up southwest Michigan forests, wetlands, prairies and lakes. Learn more here.
