Grass Identification Course


  • Rinker Rock Creek Ranch near Hailey, ID (map)

We will be offering a two-day field course taught by Justin Trujillo (author of A Field Guide to Grasses and Grass-like Plants of Idaho) that will focus on learning the basic morphology of grasses and grass-like plants. This course will cover identification of mostly cool — and some warm-season grasses common in the sagebrush steppe. Students will receive a plant press, hand lens and identification book for the course fee.

This course does not include meals; those enrolled should plan to bring food/snacks and water into the field each day. There is limited onsite camping available — contact for reservations.

This course is eligible for six continuing education credits through the Society for Range Management.

Cost is $75 per person

Register early — the course is limited to 20 participants.
