Our workshop will be led by Dr. Joydeep Bhattacharjee who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Botany and a PhD in Wildlife Science. He is a professor of Biology at ULM, where he teaches and conducts research in the Plant andral Ecology Lab. Dr. Bhattachjee has previously led our organization in workshops on Phenology and Restoration Ecology.
Phenology is the study of recurring events in biological life cycles and how they are influenced by changes in climate, season, or other factors. Phenology studies the effects of seasonal changes, impacts of precipitation and day length, effects of climate change, and ecological relationships. It is important for agriculture, conservation, and climate science.
The workshop will be held at a future date and location to be determined.
How: Register for class on our website: Louisiana Master Naturalists – Northeast under the heading: Certification. The cost of the workshop is $25.00; limited scholarship assistance is available, contact any chapter officer for information.
