Grass Identification Course (two classes offered)

June 9-10 | June 12-13

| Cost is $75 | Limited to 20 participants

Rinker Rock Creek Ranch will be offering a two-day field course taught by Justin Trujillo (author of A Field Guide to Grasses and Grass-like Plants of Idaho) that will focus on learning the basic morphology of grasses and grass-like plants. This course will cover identification of mostly cool- and some warm-season grasses common in the sagebrush steppe. Students will receive a plant press, hand lens and identification book for the course fee.

This course does not include meals; those enrolled should plan to bring food/snacks and water into the field each day.

Camping will not be available on the ranch. Here are some campsites nearby:

This course is eligible for six continuing education credits through the Society for Range Management.
