Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) will host a Live Plant Identification workshop at Merryspring Nature Center on July 24th from 1pm-4pm.
In this indoor class, guests will learn how to identify a number of common native and invasive aquatic plants. This useful program will cover basic botany, plant structure, and life cycles for around 40 aquatic plants. Guests will learn how to use LSM’s “Field Guide to Aquatic Invasive Plants” to determine whether plants are native or invasive, discover which aquatic invasive plants are infesting Maine lakes, and learn how to record and submit data as an invasive plant patrol (IPP) volunteer. This class is required for those seeking Tier 2 IPP Certification through LSM.
This class is free to all. Pre-registration is required for all guests. Please sign up by visiting:
