Announcements: For this lab we will introduce the conifers. Although you have had one conifer already (Thuja occidentalis at Haven Hill), you will learn a representative species from each of the six genera of Pinaceae, as well as a few other conifers. Many more are to come!! There are a lot of plants on this lab, and it may be dark by the time we finish. It will also be cold, so be prepared!!
