Today’s Guided nature Program…
KEYS TO BOGUS BASIN’S BOTANY – BASIC PLANT IDENTIFICATION IN THE FIELD
Examining and identifying trees, wildflowers, and shrubs in the field is simple and enjoyable method of learning basic botany. Instructors for the Keys to Bogus Basin’s Botany will focus on easily recognized field characteristics as the keys to learning common plant families and the principal plants of the area. Woven into these basics will be discussions of plant design and structure, how flowers have adapted to their pollinators, and the attributes of ecosystems. This program is only one of the many guided nature programs offered this summer.

Meet your Guide!
Hit the trail with Ray Vizgirdas, retired Wildlife Biologist and lifelong Naturalist for this installment of our Guided Nature Program series. With over three decades of experience working for state and federal agencies, Ray knows a thing or two about the outdoors (he has literally authored guidebooks about the flora at Bogus Basin!). On Saturday mornings/afternoons and Tuesday evenings, Ray covers a new topic relevant to the time of year. Whether it’s wildflowers and edible/useful plants or nature photography and animal behavior, you’re bound to learn a thing or two on your outing.
