Athens-East Piedmont August Chapter Meeting

Join us for our August Chapter Meeting, which will include a business meeting as well as a presentation by Connie Gray on Native Ferns of the Georgia Piedmont. This presentation will cover the 20 or so most common native fern species found in the Piedmont region. Fern identification can be intimidating but there are ways to make it easier. We’ll look at the distinguishing characteristics to look for, key ID features for each species, and the habitats where they are usually found. If there’s time, we may take a short walk to see some of these ferns in their natural habitats at the Center.

Our meeting will be held inside of the Sandy Creek Nature Center outside of their normal business hours.
