SUMMARY:Spring Dendrology Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this course\, we will explore the trees of Duke Farms through the lens of biology\, ecology\, and biodiversity.\n\n\nCourse Overview\nLecture material on how trees fit into our local ecosystems—both today and into the future—will contextualize the strong focus on tree identification necessary to understand these complex organisms. Some background in basic tree identification is recommended\, but not required. This course will be geared toward educators\, land managers\, ecologists\, conservationists\, shade tree commission members\, and other professionals. \nFeatured Topics\n\nTree biology\, structure\, and reproduction\nBiodiversity and tree ID through the lens of biology\n\n\n\nContinuing Education Credits\nThe Spring Dendrology Workshop is approved for credits from the following organizations. \nNew Jersey Board of Tree Experts: 4 CEUs \nNew Jersey Urban and Community Forestry (NJUCF): 4 CEUs \nInternational Society for Arboriculture: 4 CEUs \nAmerican Society for Landscape Architects: 4 hours \n\n\nPrerequisites\nThis program assumes participants have a basic knowledge of native species identification and understand general ecology concepts. Please note that classes will take place partially outdoors and will require travelling several miles on various trail types (paved and unpaved) and uneven terrain for up to 3 hours. \n\n\nProgram Guidelines\nPre-registration is required\, walk-ins are not be accepted. Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend so your space can be offered to someone else. Cancellations received at least 48 hours in advance are eligible for a refund\, if applicable.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Wonders of Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Wetlands are a unique habitat\, meet some of the resident flora and fauna that call wetlands home.\n\n\nLearn what wetlands are\, what flora and fauna live in them\, and how they adapt to this environment. Participants will also learn about the restored and constructed wetlands at Duke Farms. Expect to walk through the NRCS wetlands near the Farm Barn Orientation Center\, while no waders are needed\, bring shoes that you don’t mind getting potentially muddy.

SUMMARY:Through the Loupe: Lichen & Moss
DESCRIPTION:Come get lost in the moss (and lichen).\n\n\nYou’ve seen those curious patches of green\, blue\, and yellow filling sidewalk cracks and plastered on trees\, but have you ever leaned in for a closer look? Mosses and lichens are everywhere\, from cities to old-growth forests\, but they remain overlooked and understudied. They are tiny\, their features almost microscopic\, but they can tell us big stories about our ecosystems–as big as the role they play in shaping them. On this walk\, we’ll learn some of those stories\, along with the biology\, ecology\, and identification of common NJ species. So grab a hand lens and shrink down with us to explore the fascinating mini-worlds of lichen and moss! Perfect for beginners. \n\n\nProgram Guidelines\nRegistration is required.
