A Botanical Adventure in Kisatchie National Forest
Kickoff to an Exciting Workshop Series – Join Us on May 17, 2025
9:00 am
If you’ve ever wandered through the woods and wondered, “What kind of plant is this?”—you’re in for a treat! We’re kicking off a hands-on, educational adventure in the heart of nature, guided by none other than Dr. Charles Allen.
We’ll gather at the Chevron station in Georgetown (1234 US-165), where we’ll meet Dr. Allen, a highly respected plant taxonomist, author, and retired professor of Botany from ULM. His passion for plant identification is contagious, and he’s eager to share his expertise with us.
From there, we’ll venture into the breathtaking Kisatchie National Forest, where our newfound knowledge will be put to the test. Expect to get up close with local flora, learn fascinating facts about native species, and gain hands-on experience in fieldwork. Whether you’re a seasoned nature enthusiast or just curious about the plants in your own backyard, this excursion promises to be both educational and enjoyable.
So, lace up your hiking boots, bring your curiosity, and let’s explore the wonders of Kisatchie together!
See you there! 🌿
