[BNS_members] Coming Up: Wildflower Course!

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good day,

We have another fun course coming up at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts! 
Last Sunday, James Churchill taught a wonderful birding by ear course at 
Ross Creek (see some snapshots below), and we are delighted to be 
hosting more courses here this year, including Soren's pilot course on 
the Acadian Forest [1] this weekend, this upcoming wildflower course, a 
lichen course on October 15th and a mushroom course on October 28th 
(details coming later).

Wildflowers & Other Plants of the Acadian Forest

Once again we have this fun course with Alain Belliveau! Come learn 
about and to identify different plant families and species in our local 
area, and to gain foundational knowledge for interpreting and connecting 
to the Acadian Forest region. The focus is on widlflowers, but will 
touch on ferns and other things like sedges, grasses and reeds.

Sunday June 11th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. This is an all-day classroom 
& field course on how to identify wildflowers and other plants conducted 
by Alain Belliveau, local botanist and the Biodiversity Collections 
Manager at the E C Smith Herbarium at Acadia University. The course will 
take place at the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts. Lunch is provided as 
part of the ticket.
