Winter Botany

Enhance your outdoor nature activities by learning how to identify plants with the clues they provide during the winter months.

Plant identification can be challenging, especially during the cold winter months when many species have gone dormant. Luckily, even during this bleak time of year, plants provide us with plenty of clues to identify what species a tree, shrub, or woody vine is. Eric Fuselier will teach us about these clues and how, even during the wintertime, botany can still be a fun way to spend time outdoors.

Eric Fuselier, PWS is an Environmental Scientist at Olsson, where he works with civil engineers and landscape architects to minimize the environmental impact from the infrastructure projects they design. Eric is a former President and is currently serving as Vice President (for his second time) of the Arkansas Native Plant Society. Eric also serves on the national board for "Wild Ones: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes", a volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to promoting environmentally sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities.
