Wildflower/Ecosystem Workshops
Biologist / Botanist Doug Coleman is back and 2019 marks the 4th? anniversary of this successful workshop. Doug offers these classes to benefit the Guffey Library and as appreciation for his friends and neighbors who live in the Guffey Community. There is no charge, but a $20 per person donation to the Guffey Library is suggested. This year, Doug is offering a special 2 day workshop.
Friday July 12: Wildflowers and Ecosystems of the Southern Rockies. The day starts at the Guffey Library where participants are introduced to the key components of the mountain ecosystems that define and host a variety of wildflower gardens. Participants will learn to identify tree, shrub and wildflower components in a day long field trip learning how the components of elevation, moisture and aspect set the stage for the associated wildflower species. While in the field, participants will also be introduced to the plant families making identification easier to understand. The signatures of plants on the landscape will also be a focus of the workshop as we take a distant view of the plant communities. Questions on the topic of medicinal and edible plants often are asked and can also be a part of the discussion.
Saturday July 13: An introduction to Western Grasses. The western grasses are stunningly beautiful and often cover 80 percent of the landscape. Grass and grass-like plants (graminoids) often make up 30-40% of a region’s flora species and it is important to understand them. This introductory class will teach use of a simple key to narrow down the species till we have the correct ID.
