Join Rod Simmons, plant ecologist, for a presentation on many of the natural grassland communities and habitats in Maryland, most of which are in prime bloom in late summer and early fall. Characteristic species will be discussed, both common and rare, from communities ranging from old successional fields to riverside prairies. Identification techniques, with an emphasis on asters, goldenrods, and grasses, will also be discussed. Members are encouraged to bring in samples of plants they may want identified.
