Extractions: Participants learn more than it is normally expected in an intensive 2-weeks course. By the end of each course, most of the students have declared that they are able to identify, down to family level, about 70% - 80% of the trees and shrubs of the Neotropics Click here for SHORT opinions given by former students.

Extractions: Edited by Christopher J. Earle. This database has descriptions of 1000+ taxa of gymnosperms, i.e., conifers, cycads, and their allies. This database provides entry at the family level and guides to genus, species and sometimes variety for each taxon. Basic information on each species generally includes a picture, a distribution map, common names, taxonomic notes, description, range, "big tree", oldest, dendrochronology, ethnobotany, remarks, and citations. Flora of North America Production of the database proceeds simultaneously with the preparation of the hard-copy flora. The database will eventually contain all the information found in the published volumes as well as additional information, such as more detailed morphological data, information on type specimens, and documentation for chromosome counts. It will also incorporate information on habitats, precise distributions, populations, and plant communities.

Extractions: standifo@nature.berkeley.edu The forestry program at UC Berkeley started in 1914 as a Division within Berkeley's College of Agriculture and with Walter Mulford as head. The first BS and MS degrees were awarded in 1917. In 1939, the program was reorganized as the Department of Forestry which in 1947 became the School of Forestry. A Ph.D. program was added in 1960. In 1969, the MS and Ph.D. programs in forestry were broadened and replaced by a graduate program in Wildland Resource Science; the professional Master of Forestry degree (MF) remained separate. In 1974, the School of Forestry and the College of Agricultural Sciences merged to become the College of Natural Resources (CNR) with much of the forestry research and teaching residing in a new Department of Forestry and Resource Management. The professionally accredited program in forestry continued throughout this entire period. In 1992 the College of Natural Resources reorganized again, setting up four departments with much of the forestry program in a large, new Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management (ESPM). A new graduate program called Environmental Science, Policy and Management replaced Wildland Resource Science. After several reorganizations of ESPM the department now includes four divisions: Forest Science, Ecosystem Science, Resource Institutions Policy and Management, and Insect Biology. The forestry teaching and research program spans all four divisions as well as other departments in the College.

Extractions: State Forest Tree ID Trail A short foot trail developed by Morgan-Monroe State Forest White Pine There are 43 stations marked along the trail, each featuring a particular tree or forest management area. Some stations include descriptions of how humans benefit from trees and forest products. A short list of these benefits includes watershed protection, air purification, wildlife habitat, aesthetic beauty and over 6,000 useful items made from wood. We hope that as you hike the trail you will be able to appreciate some of these benefits. Trees and Sites on the Identification Trail 1. Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) The state tree of Indiana. This fast-growing, sun- loving tree is intolerant of shade. Young seedlings grow readily in forest openings at Morgan-Monroe. At 60 years of age, this specimen could be 120 feet tall. It may reach 200 feet in height at the end of its expected life span. 2. White Ash

Extractions: Catalog Description: Field and laboratory identification of native and exotic trees, shrubs and woody vines using leaf, twig, bark, and fruit characteristics. Requires $20 fee to cover cost of transportation for field trips. Prerequisite: Plant Biology 200. Student Objectives: Identify at least 80-100 angiosperm trees, shrubs, and vines by various characteristics. Provide the family, genus, specific epithet, and common name for each quiz specimen. Identify the correct terminology for various plant components including leaf shapes, fruit types and other structures. Course Format: Course will be conducted primarily outdoors rain or shine. Approximately 10 new species of plants will be introduced each class session. Quizzes will be held weekly. Quiz specimens will come from the pool of species introduced in previous class sessions. Sharing of personal observations during tree introductions is encouraged. Please note that the wooded areas we will be visiting may contain poison ivy and various thorny plants so wear appropriate clothing such as long pants, raincoats, and boots for various field and climatic conditions. A large clear plastic bag slipped over a clipboard is crucial for note taking and quizzes on damp mornings or rainy days. Use of a #1 or #2 pencil is best especially for writing on damp paper during rainy days.
