Eugene OR: A dozen anxious students assembled in a parking lot on the UO campus. We were to meet with Dr. David Wagner and then carpool to two nearby locations to collect bryophytes for three action packed days of classroom activities.
It was a delightful day, no rain, and we had no difficulty selecting about 40 species of bryophytes to study.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were spent in intensive discussion and microscopic inspections of our collections. Dr. Wagner supplemented our samples with collections of his own and raised our sample collection to nearly a hundred species. What fun.
