Join us for the autumn (Sept. 9-13) Botany Workshop being offered near Windigo in Michigan's Isle Royale National Park (located in western Lake Superior).
Sponsored by the Isle Royale & Keweenaw Parks Association, this botany workshop is open to anyone with beginning/intermediate knowledge of plant identification who would like to learn to identify plants of Isle Royale. You’ll learn to use such tools as a dichotomous key and hand lens to identify plants. Plant communities, rare species, ecology, and invasive species will be discussed. Nine botany workshops have been taught near the NE end of Isle Royale (Rock Harbor) by botanist Janet Marr. This will be the first one offered near the SW end of the island (Windigo). Windigo is most easily accessed by boat from Grand Portage, Minnesota, although it can also be reached from the Houghton/Copper Harbor, Michigan area.
