Description: As part of our year-long School Woodland Ecosystem Study Project, please join us for our second teacher workshop where we will explore two investigations designed to help students understand that diversity matters.
We will compare decomposition rates and learn about differences in herbivory between different tree species, and hear about work from two of our scientists on these topics. You will also have the opportunity to learn how to identify trees in the winter using bark and twigs.
Lunch will be provided. Space is limited, so register early!
