On August 15, 2026, botanist Janet Marr will teach a one-day, field-based workshop geared towards land managers, conservationists, botanists, and other environmental professionals and students. She will focus on aquatic and wetland plants through exploration of Gratiot Lake environs and sharing of plant samples gleaned from other Keweenaw locations. Marr has held previous workshops on plant identification both for GLC and for the Isle Royal Natural History Association. In 2005/2006 she surveyed aquatic vegetation at Gratiot Lake and authored the handbook, "Guide to Aquatic Plants of Gratiot Lake and Other Keweenaw County Lakes." Over the years she has completed numerous botanical surveys for GLC and other conservation organizations. 

The Aquatic and Wetland Plant ID Workshop will be limited in group size, and preregistration will be required. GLC members will receive a 10% discount on the fee and scholarships are available. For information and registration contact:  Bonnie@GratiotLakeConservancy.org.
