Live Plant Identification Workshop in Monson in August
In this free indoor class, guests learn how to identify a number of common native and invasive
aquatic plants. This useful program covers basic botany, plant structure, and life cycles for
around 40 aquatic plants. Guests learn how to use LSM’s “Field Guide to Aquatic Invasive
Plants” to determine whether plants are native or invasive, discover which aquatic invasive
plants are infesting Maine lakes, and learn how to record and submit data as an invasive plant
patrol (IPP) volunteer. This class is required for those seeking Tier 2 IPP Certification through
LSM.
