This workshop will focus on the field identification of both common and rare species. The Granite Mountains Desert Research Center will serve as our homebase from which to explore the sky islands of the Mojave. We will travel up to 100 miles each day and hikes will be moderately strenuous. We will be collecting in the field and evenings will be spent identifying collections and preparing herbarium specimens at the research center.
Course fee ($450/$475) includes accommodations, meals, and transportation for the duration of the workshop. Camping will be at a private campground with a pit toilet and stored water.
