Sedge ID Workshop - North Central FL CISMA

So you've likely heard that sedges have edges, but where do you go from there? Join the North Central Florida CISMA for a day of hands-on learning with two experts, Dr. Lucas Majure and Erick Revuelta, who will teach us about these oft-overlooked plants and how to identify some of the major groups of sedges which grow in Florida.

The day's activities will include lectures from our experts, hands-on time with sedges and microscopes, and an optional walk through the nearby Natural Areas Teaching Laboratory (NATL), an outdoor preserve where we will get to see some sedges (and other things!) in their natural habitat.

Lunch will not be provided, so please bring your own or plan to pick something up nearby. While not necessary, bringing your own loupe or hand lense (10x) will be helpful.

Info: Participants will be have hands-on time with a dissecting scope to practice identifying sedge specimens. These activities will be guided by Dr. Lucas Majure and Erick Revuelta

Info: Please bring your own brown-bag lunch.

Info: Join us on a walk through NATL to see several different sedge species growing on-site.
