Plant Communities in Wisconsin

On Wednesday September 28, I attended the Fall MGV Level II Specialty Training class.

The topic was "Plant Communities in Wisconsin."

The presenter was Barb Larson, UW-Extension Kenosha.

Very interesting and informative. We learned about the plant communities in various types of forests, wetlands, and prairies.

Counts as 3 hours MGV education.

She recommended the book, "The Vegetation of Wisconsin: An Ordination of Plant Communities" (1959, 1971) by John T. Curtis.

It was on the shelf at the Hales Corners Library, so I checked it out and am in the process of reading it. Tons of interesting information.
