Jorge Ochoa’s Griffith Park Plant ID Class on Sunday, April 17th

Friends of Griffith Park is proud to announce an event geared toward anyone who hikes in the Park who would like to be able to identify plants along their route. The workshop focuses on improving knowledge and skills in identifying native or naturalized plants. The class will include some hiking and field work in various areas including riparian, chaparral, oak woodland and coastal sage scrub.

This is an intensive course taught by Jorge Ochoa focusing specifically on 25 plants found in the Park. As Ochoa points out, identifying plants can be a challenge, but if you know leaf, flower and fruit basics, you will significantly reduce the amount of time required to identify most plant species.
