The World of Mosses
Taught by Keith Bowman, Moss Ecologist
Come and explore the Lilliputian world of the mosses. You will be introduced to the unique biology and ecology of these often overlooked plants through hands-on demonstrations and activities. You will have a chance to get up close and personal with some of the common species in the classroom and, if time allows, on a short walk in the Arboretum. In addition to the mosses, you will learn about the closely related liverworts and hornworts and how to distinguish among these different groups. Bring your hand lens, your enthusiasm, and your questions. Keith Bowman has been studying the biology and ecology of mosses for the last 15 years. He is currently completing his Ph.D. dissertation in bryophyte ecology.
