Summer Flora Of Connecticut Prerequisites: None Connecticut hosts a range of natural environments populated by plants of every phylum. Through a combination of lectures and field trips over seven weeks, the course will focus on identifying local flora, surveying regional plant communities, recognizing plant families of major importance and their evolutionary relationships, and learning field techniques for studying botany. Students will learn to identify plants in the field using standard field guides, will learn how to collect plants responsibly, press and and mount specimens for a personal herbarium. The course provides a venue for recognizing evolutionary and ecological relationships amoung the components of plant communities. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 3.000 Lecture hours 3.000 TO 6.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture and Field Instruction School of Arts and Sciences College Biology Department
