While this class is not a substitute for a full taxonomy curriculum, it is a great place to get to know some of Northern Wisconsin’s vegetation. Lots of time will be spent outdoors and student should be prepared to walk some of Treehaven’s many trails. We will utilize a spiral bound artist’s notebook, pencil or ink, and a small watercolor kit or colored pencils to take visual notes and capture whatever is in bloom.
