A series of SC Plant ID Trainings has been scheduled to take place at 4 locations throughout SC, please plan to attend at least 1 event. Your trainers will be staff of Clemson Extension, the Longleaf Alliance and USFWS!! The goal of these trainings are to increase your knowledge of basic plant ID skills and to practice your techniques in the field. The more you can identify native plants in the field, the better you will be able to plan and evaluate practices like 386, 420 and 422.
We will also have an online webinar covering basic plant id skills prior to the field trainings on May 9th from 1-2. The link to it is https://longleafalliance-org.zoom.us/j/87861621630?pwd=Flh8bjE5YSkbaCcoakgfzmugGUjFkj.1
