Over the #summer, warm-season grasses emerge, grow, and flower. These grasses provide #habitat and #forage for #wildlife. Join Erin Garrett to review the basics of grass identification, and dive into identification of warm-season grasses in Illinois. The grasses included are species you can find while out hiking, as well as in disturbed areas and roadsides. Both native and non-native grasses in Illinois are included.

This webinar was originally recorded on August 18, 2021.
