Our last class was a bit of a challenge….the Rushes! (family Juncaceae).  Since we didn’t have a large number of different species, it was a good class to cover some other plants like Canna and Thalia.

Meanwhile the crew systematically removed the soft rush (Scirpus validus) from the ag ditch at the park.  All the material will be used for the Stormwater Wetland projects.
