Hello WLA Students!
One option for for service activites for your record book is a COUNTY PLANT COLLECTION. You will need to submit a minimum of 10 plants to get 30 points!
Guidelines for a good plant mount and scan!
-Well pressed and dried
-The majority of leaves should be open and flat, not folded
- Free of dirt and debris
- Where possible, include flowers, fruit, or seed heads
- Where possible, forbs and grasses should have roots
- Remove or clip away excessive and overlapping clusters of leaves, flowers, or roots
Don't forget - you can use your field school prep for a reference list of what plants deer eat!
Here are some other websites that will help you with your collection:
How to make a plant press at home
Common Trees of PA - DCNR Website
PA List of Plants in your COUNTY
USDA Plants Database
Fall is approaching so don't wait too long to start this project!!
