The Pennsylvania Botany Steering Committee Presents
Bryophyte Identification Skills for Botanists and
Naturalists June 12, 2015 • 9:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m.
Bald Eagle State Park Environmental Learning Center
Howard, PA ________________________________
Dear Pennsylvania Plant Enthusiasts:
We are excited to offer the first of our 2015
Pennsylvania Botany Workshops, Bryophyte Identification Skills for Botanists
and Naturalists. Please visit our website regularly and watch your email
inboxes for more workshops to come later this summer and fall. We hope to see
you in June at the Bryophyte workshop!
Bryophytes are an unnatural group of plants comprised of
what’s commonly known as mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These small but
ubiquitous plants are prevalent in nearly every habitat in Pennsylvania, yet
they are frequently unnoticed or passed over during botanical surveys. With
variety of habitats ranging from kettle-hole bogs to limestone barrens,
Pennsylvania is home to over 640 species of bryophytes. This one-day workshop
explores bryophyte diversity by introducing you to the form, function, and
habitats of these small, but important plants in the classroom and the field.
The goal of this workshop is to provide you with the basic skills to recognize
common bryophyte species in their habitats and equip you with the tools for
more detailed species identification.
Regards,
The Pennsylvania Botany Steering Committee
