Lecture: Spring Wildflowers of Marin

We are blessed with an amazing diversity of flowering plants here in Marin. Any spring walk in our parks and open spaces is sure to be enhanced by the presence of dozens of species in bloom whether you visit a moist redwood forest or a parched chaparral covered hillside.


This lecture will delve into the common species that we see in the different habitats around the county. We will talk a little about identification, but we will also discuss the roles they play in the ecosystem involving pollination, seed dispersal and the dynamics of herbivory and habitat stability.
