- Happy birthday botany club! Yesterday we celebrated with a tailgate picnic of hot chocolate, coffee, and snacks before heading out for a hike in the rain. We’ve hosted a botany-themed hike here in Ketchikan every Sunday for an entire year! 1/
- Before our first hike, I couldn’t tell red cedar from yellow cedar and didn’t know how to identify any mosses. After a year of study (and some great classes thru @uasoutheast.bsky.social ) I can now identify hundreds of plants! 2/
- The beautiful thing about this botany club community is that it has become a nature nerd space. We’ve all gotten into birding and last week one of our members arranged a tour of the NOAA Fairweather, which was awesome! 5/
