2011 MOSP Workshop ScheduleA MOSP Workshop is a free, hands-on way to get introduced to the identification of dragonflies and damselflies. All Workshops go from 9am to 4pm. We will start out indoors, building the foundation for what we will do for the rest of the day in the field. Please come prepared for the weather, rain or shine. Also bring rubber boots or wading shoes, a lunch, water bottle and whatever else you will need for the day. Nets and field guides will be available for loan, but participants are encouraged to bring their own equipment if they have it. Other supplies will be provided. Did I mention that these workshops are free? |
