About the Event
Join a local botanist to learn how plants get their names and how to go about identifying plants that you see in the bush. Plant identification can be challenging when you consider that some 2,500 species occur within the Shire of Esperance, and 6,000 in the southwest of WA.
Participants in this workshop will learn how plants get their names together with the various tools that can be used to identify plants. An opportunity will be provided to apply some of these tools to identify some selected plant samples.
Ken Mills is a botanist who has lived in Esperance for over 20 years. His interests include the history and science of plant taxonomy, the biology of sedges, and fire ecology.
