Botany the Beautiful: Plant Evolution, Biology, and Ecology

September 30 from 6-8 PM • Presenter: Derek Walsh

This presentation will explore the beautiful world of botany. We will delve into the biology, ecology, and evolution of plants, tracing the planet’s first plants from hundreds of millions of years ago all the way to today’s plants in and around Wesselman Woods. We will dive into the biology of mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants by examining the important biological and ecological processes and observing some native plant species.

Cost: $20 for public / $15 for members and Indiana Master Naturalist Alumni
