Native, Non-Native, and Pioneer Plant Species

What does it mean to be a non-native species? What are native and pioneering plants? Understand the benefits that plants have in shaping our environment and the drawbacks some plants pose. Students work together to learn how plant communities interact within our environment. Field techniques are explored to identify and survey plant biodiversity and why that is important for the greater ecosystem.
Courses will start promptly at the time they are scheduled. Parents/Guardians must attend with your student. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, and a water bottle. If you have any questions, contact Environmental Center Director Meredith Maloney at (410) 939-4800 .
