Glacier Institute: Wildflower Wanderings Description:
Glacier National Park is a wildflower aficionado's paradise. With nearly 1,000 species of wildflowers located within its' boundaries, Glacier provides an abundance of beauty and learning opportunities for those who know where to look. In this course, participants will have the opportunity to identify plants in the diverse biomes of Glacier National Park. At the end of the class, students should be able to identify many common wildflowers by sight and also recognize more than ten plant families by sight. The majority of the class will be taught as hands on in the field in a non-technical manor. Botanical terms will be discussed as they are observed while identifying plants. Both common and scientific names will be used. Family, genus, and species names as listed in Peter Lesica's Flora of Glacier National Park, 2002, will be used with a hand out of the classification changes made after publication. This course is designed for both beginning botanists and those who have been enjoying wildflowers for many years.
