GA Native Plants Society is having a couple of worthwhile events. One is a workshop about winter woody plant ID, which I would dearly love to attend! Sadly I live too far away. Check out their website at Georgia Native Plant Society to find out more on what they have going on.

They also need volunteers for clean up workdays. It would be a good thing to give a couple of hours, meet friendly people and maybe learn something. That’s what I always hope for anyway – I’m happy to trade work for the opportunity to pick an experts brain.

Here is a blurb on the woody plant id workshop:

Workshop: Winter Twig Identification

2 pm to 5 pm on Sunday, November 15th at Dunwoody Nature Center
Learn more about how to identify woody plants in the winter using twig characteristics. Ron Lance will be your instructor for this 3 hour workshop. Ron is the author of “Woody Plants of the Southeastern United States: A Winter Guide” and currently is a senior naturalist at Balsam Mountain Preserve in Sylva, NC. The workshop will consist of some classroom time and some time outdoors, so appropriate clothing based on the weather will be required.
