Sue Williams, who has studied mosses for over thirty years, will teach you about mosses and liverworts. The first hour will explore everything about these wonderful tiny plants from what makes them unique, their life cycle and structure, their amazing diversity and how they find their place in the world dominated by vascular plants. The second half of the class will focus on how we identify mosses, especially in the field. She will be bringing copies of her new book for sale: Ecological Guide to the Mosses and Common Liverworts of the Northeast. EMG-E

Presenter's bio: Sue Williams, from Rowe, Massachusetts, has worked on mosses for over thirty years. She began with Howard Crum at Eagle Hill, and since then has studied and collected them all over the Northeast. About ten years ago she began drawing mosses and writing down the characters she uses to recognize them, and now has put them together in a book, The Ecological Guide to the Mosses and Common Liverworts of the Northeast, which will be published in April 2023.
