SUMMARY:iNaturalist in Action: A hands-on training
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this hands-on demonstration using iNaturalist along the trails of Floracliff. We’ll spend some time exploring biodiversity\, and we will cover the benefits of nature observations\, basics of the app\, and effective photos for species identification. \n \n\niNaturalist is a community science app and website used by professional and amateur naturalists around the world to document and learn about biodiversity. It’s not only an important tool for projects like the City Nature Challenge and National Moth Week\, but also a resource to learn about what is in your own yard or neighborhood. Anyone can contribute to and participate in iNaturalist by uploading observations of plants\, animals\, fungi\, and more. \nProgram Leader: Beverly James\, Preserve Director \nHiking Level: Easy \nWeather Policy: For the safety and enjoyment of our visitors\, all programs are subject to cancellation due to inclement weather\, including rain\, wind\, and severe weather warnings and advisories.

SUMMARY:The Aster family- Asteraceae:  An introduction to navigating this large and important plant family
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Rob Paratley \nThe Asteraceae\, or composites\, contain more species of flowering plants than all others (but the orchids). There are more composites in our regional flora\, and indeed any temperate flora\, than any other plant family. They inhabit just about every habitat and are conspicuous throughout the growing season\, especially in late summer and fall. Easy to recognize as a family when flowering\, the large number of species and its sometimes inconspicuous but important identifying field characters\, can overwhelm us. Knowing what to look for and how the family is organized will help! We will review the features and specialized terms that allow us to recognize a composite to the family. Then we will dive into Asteraceae organization (systematics)- learning to recognize groups of genera called tribes- that can help us work our way through and identify most composites\, at least to genus. We will look at herbarium specimens and collected live plants\, as well as explore late-blooming composites within Floracliff. \nHike distance and difficulty: 3 miles; rated moderate to difficult\, due to steep and uneven terrain; there may also be some slick spots near the creek \nBring: water \nOptional: hiking poles\, snack/lunch\, camera \nWeather Policy: For the safety and enjoyment of our visitors\, all programs are subject to cancellation due to inclement weather\, including rain\, wind\, and severe weather warnings and advisories.
