*Course Description*

Willows (*Salix*) are among the most widespread, diverse, and ecologically
important vascular plants in British Columbia, yet are well known as one of
the most difficult groups of plants to identify accurately to species. This
course aims to provide students with a sufficient background in the genus
to help untangle some of these complexities and become familiar with the
identification process in the group. The course will include an in-class
component, which will discuss the diversity, ecology, and identification of
willow species, as well as provide opportunities for students to interact
with fresh and dried specimen material. In addition, field trips will take
students into the field to see a variety of willow species in different
environments and practice field identification using taxonomic keys and
other materials.

Mr. Fenneman has been studying the flora of British Columbia for more than
20 years, and has collected and documented plants throughout most of the
province over the course of this period. He has worked as an environmental
consultant since 2005, where he focuses primarily on vegetation community
studies, rare plant surveys, and botanical inventories. He is currently in
the process of completing a Ph.D. in Botany at the University of British
Columbia, where he is studying the taxonomy and systematics of the
sunflower family (*Asteraceae*) in British Columbia. He has also been a
primary laboratory instructor in the field of plant taxonomy at UBC since
2013, and has instructed hundreds of students in the fields of plant
identification and classification.
