Rare Plant Monitoring Volunteer Training

Are you interested in botany and plant conservation? Participate in the Wisconsin Rare Plant Monitoring program and join a group of dedicated volunteers who conduct rare plant surveys around the state. Data collected by volunteers are used to assess plant population trends for state and national conservation efforts. Program participants are trained in surveying techniques, including how to accurately estimate large plant populations, assess habitat condition, and use GPS coordinates to locate and mark rare plant populations. Plant identification training will not be provided, although we will briefly discuss some rare plants you might find in the area.
