Study the Field Botany of Northern Michigan with two renown botanists this summer at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS). We welcome back Dr. Charles Davis and Dr. Anton Reznicek as co-instructors for the class.
Dr. Davis is Curator of Vascular Plants in the Harvard University Herbaria and Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard. Dr. Anton Reznicek is Curator of Vascular Plants at the University of Michigan Herbarium and a Research Scientist at the University of Michigan. Davis is a world expert on the parasitic (and remarkably bloomed) plant family Rafflesiaceae. Reznicek is an internationally recognized expert on sedges, especially the genus Carex. Both worked alongside legendary botanist, UMBS instructor and Michigan Flora author Edward G. Voss. Reznicek co-authored Field Manual of Michigan Flora with Voss. Field Botany is a graduate-level course, but we invite advanced undergraduates to enroll as well. Course information is available at http://www.lsa.umich.edu/umbs/students/courses/fieldbotanyofnorthernmichiganeeb556_ci . The University of Michigan Biological Station is one of the premier inland field stations of North America. We are located on Douglas Lake, near Pellston, Michigan at the tip of Michigan's lower peninsula. The Station is situated in the heart of the Great Lakes, with 3 of the lakes within 30-90 minutes' drive. We are also near many unique and sensitive habitats including dunes, alvar, bogs, marshes and old-growth forest.
