An Introduction to Identification of Ferns and "fern-allies" of the North Woods

Join Alex Graeff, ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, for a hike around Kemp’s nature trails including some time on the bog.

The hike will include discussion of the morphology and life cycle of ferns, lycopods, and horsetails, including all of the important features for identification! The hike will be about 1 mile and includes some moderately strenuous terrain, though we will pause often for discussion as we encounter various target species. Expect to learn around 20 different ferns and fern allies. Bring your notebook, camera, hand-lens, and anything else that will enhance your learning experience.

Event will start in the Conner Forestry Center at Kemp Natural Resources Station. Visit kemp.wisc.edu/outreach for more information.
