Native Plant Use by Wildlife & Pollinators: SCNP Certificate Elective
The SC Native Plant Studies Certificate Program is offered by the SCBG in partnership with the South Carolina Native Plant Society.
Are you interested in learning about how the native plants in your yard or around your property can help support birds, insects, and other wildlife? During this field course, we will saunter through the South Carolina Botanical Garden and discuss the native plants we find along the trails. We’ll then discuss how these plants support natural communities here in the Upstate of South Carolina.
Your Instructor: Dr. Jon Storm, Professor of Biology at the University of South Carolina Upstate and content creator of Southern Piedmont Natural History on Facebook.
Location: S.C. Botancial Garden; Conference Center, upper level
Please Note: All classes are open to the public. If you would like to pursue the South Carolina Native Plant Certificate Program, all core classes plus 4 electives are required for completion.
Some classes in the certificate program include fieldwork and can be physically demanding . We may use hiking trails with moderate difficulty. Participants must be in good physical condition and able to hike 1-2 miles without difficulty or assistance over terrain with steep sections, where footing will be uneven, with frequent tree roots, rocks, muddy areas and fallen tree trunks to climb or step over. Sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots are required.
