Vegetation Census Field Trip: Sampling Forest Layers in Sessions Woods

DESCRIPTION

Join us for a comprehensive field trip to Sessions Woods, where we will conduct a vegetation census using line transect sampling. We will explore the three layers of the forest: the herbaceous layer (0-1 m), shrub layer (1-2 m), and tree layer (>2 m). Key species observed include Acer saccharum, Acer rubrum, Fraxinus americana, and many more. Participants will learn about forest ecology while gaining hands-on experience in plant identification and sampling techniques. This is an excellent opportunity for students and nature enthusiasts alike!
