100 Maine Plants: ep.1, species 1-6 [the wild child project]
Показать описание
I took a drive out to some foothills outside of the White Mountains near Fryeburg, Maine. I picked out 6 understory plants in the mixed hardwood habitat ('understory' and 'mixed hardwood' are habitat designators you may eventually want to learn if you're interested in plant identification).
I named a few more seedling trees but decided I should try to structure the series around plant types and habitat niches (e.g., herbs, shrubs, trees, ferns, mosses, etc) so they didn't make the cut this round.
Part of this series is an exercise in reminding myself what I have learned in the past and the other half is sharing that knowledge with others, since teaching plants to students was a big part of the motivation I had to learn more -- I also believe in that Wendell Berry quote, "They can't protect what they don't know" (something like that...I'll look for the original and replace it here later), so learning to recognize the different plant species is like learning the ABC's of the alphabet: you learn to recognize and associate a shape and a sound with each before you begin to read the sentences or understand the larger ecological story being told.
I was a little rusty with some plants and will have to start bringing the guidebooks with me to fill the gaps. I will probably dedicate a short episode to using guidebooks or identification resources so you can understand the basic terminology and standard organization methods that most plant pros use in their literature.
I also have the intention of encouraging "plant recognition" as a necessary 'building block' to more detailed knowledge of a plant so I will try to find the balance between "too much information" and "not enough" when considering what I say or write in captions.
The blackflies were strong (check the clouds around my head in the beginning). I think I should do a Wild Child Project episode on the hazards of the season because if you are sensitive to biting insects, you definitely want to prepare with clothing barriers and repellent. I found that I could tolerate them but I don't encourage anyone to do that.
Why suffer during something that should be enjoyable when you could just toss some long sleeve clothing and a mosquito net and repellent of your choosing into a backpack? I prefer clothing and plant-based repellents to toxic chemical sprays. Preparing for the elements is especially important if you are responsible for others on your outdoor excursion: your family, a loved one, a classroom, a guided trip, etc.
You have people's morale and well-being under your care and you need to be responsible for ensuring people are prepared and reasonably comfortable depending on the age and nature of the trip (a kids class will have higher comfort needs than a rugged group of experienced hikers on a backpacking trip -- but both require oversight from trip leaders).
I'll put timestamps for the plants with the common and scientific name (coming soon!).
