SUMMARY:Learning the Aquatic Plants of Texas: Habitats\, Ecology and Identification
DESCRIPTION:By: Casey Williams\, NPSOT’s 2022 Shirley Lusk Memorial Award award recipient. Casey is recognized for collecting ~ 350 specimens\, with a focus on aquatic plants of Texas\, with collections housed at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas in Fort Worth and the University of Texas at Austin. \n\n\n\nSeminar Location: Meadows Center for Water and the Environment San Marcos\, Texas \n\n\n\nWhat makes an aquatic plant “aquatic” ? \n\n\n\nDo you want to learn how to ID those “water weeds” or “sea weeds” and why they may not be “weeds” at all? Did you know that many of Texas’ native aquatic plants are surprisingly drought tolerant? Ever ponder your Potamogetonaceae? \n\n\n\nCome learn about the remarkable\, generally ignored\, native aquatic plants of Texas ( with some emphasis on non-native species too)! \n\n\n\nEncounter the diversity of Texas’ aquatic flora from swamps of east Texas to the arroyos of west Texas and in between. Texas is home to a variety of aquatic plants mostly unknown to amateur and professional botanists alike. Enjoy a day by the beautiful San Marcos Springs while we learn about the wet plants of Texas. \n\n\n\nFor more information visit https://aquaticfloraofTexas.rsvpify.com
