Wet pine savannas are home to a tremendous amount of plant biodiversity, mostof which is driven by the fire ecology that maintains the savanna’s open canopy. Join the Grand Bay NERR botanists, Andrew Heaton and Emmett Carstens in learning to identify the graminoids (grasses, sedges, and rushes) found at the Reserve this spring! There will be classroom instruction and a field component to the workshop. Lunch will be provided. Space is limited so register today!! Register at: https://gbnerr_gramid.eventbrite.com/

This course provides comprehensive training in the three-parameter approach to identifying and delineating wetlands. Emphasis is placed on learning to recognize indicators of wetland vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Participants will go into the field and apply methods learned in a variety of area wetlands and gain knowledge and skills to meet wetland conservation goals or regulatory needs.

This yearlong series includes three workshops with monthly sharing sessions for those who want to use R in their daily workflow. This series will help users streamline daily tasks, work with data in a reproducible framework, make publication ready graphs, write their own functions, and generate and decipher basic statistical outputs.  

During this event researchers presented an overview of the work that they have been doing at the Grand Bay NERR or surrounding area. They participated in a roundtable for discussion and to answer questions. The goal was to share and learn about current research at Grand Bay, provided an opportunity to network and build new collaborations and identify future needs and direction of Grand Bay research.
