Description: When herbaceous plants have died back and look "disenchanted," it is still possible to identify some of them by closely examining their dried leaves, stems, and persistent fruits and seeds. Join Frances Clark for a classroom exploration to investigate 25-30 weeds and native herbaceous species growing in disturbed habitats, fields, and woodland edges. Examine specimens close at hand to learn identification features and intriguing seed- dispersal mechanisms. Pre-registration is necessary, contact the registrar at 508-877-7630, ext. 3303.
