Workshop details and registration form

The Carex Working Group consists of three Oregon botanists fascinated by sedges and other difficult-to-identify plant
groups. We came together in 1993 to map the distribution of Oregon's sedges and incorporated in 2002. After years of
gathering data in the field and herbarium, we published The Atlas of Oregon Carex in 1999. We conduct surveys and
assessments for land management agencies and private industry.
We apply our botanical skills by:

• Surveying for challenging plants such as sedges, willows, and rushes 


• Teaching plant identification workshops for professional botanists 


• Developing and applying methods to use vegetation to assess habitat (e.g., for sage grouse) 


• Evaluating weed impacts on rare plant species 


• Monitoring rare plant populations 


• Developing ecosystem management plans 


• Preparing plant lists for the Oregon Flora Project 


• Monitoring invasive weeds 


• Assessing riparian conditions
