These prep courses will prepare you for your in-person field course. They are optional but strongly encouraged. \nCourse Descriptions: \nBasic Field Botany & Native Plants Class:The class primarily focuses on developing a basic understanding of botanical terms and features that will help you identify plants in the field. The course also provides a high-level overview of how plants are scientifically classified\, fostering a deeper understanding of how you will communicate about and identify them effectively. \nNative Plant Identification and Keying Class:This class is all about identifying native plants! You will begin by focusing on the key characteristics of some of Colorado’s plant families – a starting point for learning native plant genera and species – which is the identity and name of the plant you are studying; and you will learn how to use a dichotomous key—a series of “either-or” questions designed to guide you to the correct identity of a plant. The dichotomous key is the heart of the Native Plant Master™ courses and developing this skill will enhance your experience with your course. To offer practical experiences\, this course includes an interactive dichotomous key for hands-on practice in identifying plants. \nSpecial Note:You will need to navigate to the online registration using the link provided by your county coordinator after you’re registered for the in-person Native Plant Master™ field course. These online courses open in March\, so the link will be sent in March. After registering for the online classes\, please allow at least 30 minutes to receive email confirmation and login credentials. Be sure to check your SPAM folder for the login information. \nPlease note that there are no refunds for open entry courses.
