<p><em style="color:rgb(32,94,86);font-size:14pt;font-family:"times new roman",times,serif"><strong>Course Description</strong></em></p>
<p>Willows (<em>Salix</em>) 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. </p>

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 (<em>Asteraceae</em>) 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.
