Asters, Goldenrods, and Other Composites
The Asteraceae family offers a dazzling array of plants to admire in meadows, wetlands, woods, and gardens, but the diversity of this family makes identifying them confusing. Learn how to tell members of the Asteraceae family apart and how to identify common species in the field. The field portion of the class will use Newcomb's Wildflower Guide. Bring a hand lens if you have one. Ecologist Dr. Sylvan Kaufman will lead the class.
