PART OF THE 2021 DOOR COUNTY FESTIVAL OF NATURE

Sedges (Cyperaceae) are dominant members of North America’s wetland flora, and exceedingly important to the ecology of bogs and fens. In this hike, we will learn the basics of sedge identification, learn to distinguish sedges from rushes and grasses, and identify as many of the sedges as we can, with an emphasis on the genus Carex (which has more than 150 species in Wisconsin, approximately half of which can be found in Door County alone!). Bring a 10x hand lens. A copy of “Field Guide to Wisconsin Sedges” will be handy, but it is not required. Suitable for ages 16 and up
