This workshop will feature Sarracenias (pitcher plants), as a hands-on introduction to making paper botanicals.  In the process of creating a pot of three Sarracenias (your choice of colors), participants will learn about this fascinating carnivorous plant.  No previous experience with making paper botanicals is needed, but the activity requires the use of scissors and good finger dexterity. Materials will be provided to complete the Sarracenia pot, and tools will be available for use during the workshop.

This lecture and hands-on workshop will provide an overview of the biology of pine trees, including how they grow, reproduce, and interact with the environment. Participants will learn the key anatomical and morphological features used to distinguish among eight species of Pinus in North Carolina, as well as the types of ecosystems in which they are found.
