Join Don Scallen for a fascinating presentation on the botany of alvars and fens. These environments are populated by a host of fascinating and beautiful plants. The growing conditions of alvars and fens keep many trees at bay and provide opportunities for a diversity of plants to grow that would otherwise be shaded and outcompeted. Fens are wetter and often host various carnivorous plants and orchids, while alvars can be rich in beautiful plants such as Indian Paintbrush, Balsam Ragwort and Prairie Smoke.
