SUMMARY:Online Botany Discussion
DESCRIPTION:\nFrom Marc Williams:\n\nI and others are currently workin
 g on getting up a website to further focus our efforts and provide gre
 ater resources. www.botanyeveryday.com More to come soon!!!\n\n\nThe i
 nitial focus of the website is to list classes and events and also fac
 ilitate an online discussion through the book Botany in a Day 5th edit
 ion, by Thomas J. Elpel. My good friend and mentor Frank Cook, who cro
 ssed over last year, led a similar discussion for 9 years through emai
 l. If you are interested in the class and don’t have the book then p
 lease purchase it right away! Ideally get it directly from Thomas at h
 ttp://www.hollowtop.com/contact.htm. Read through the first 16 pages t
 o familiarize yourself once you have the book. The CLASS WILL BEGIN IN
  ABOUT A WEEK. This class will allow you to understand the patterns of
  the plant world and thereby greatly demystify the plant identificatio
 n process. A new lesson will be posted every couple weeks through Octo
 ber…If you want a notification when a new class is posted then send 
 me your email\n\nThe class will be offered by donation. $50 is the sug
 gested amount. Your contributions will greatly aid my ability to walk 
 the path of ethnobotany while earning right livelihood as well.\n\n\n\
 nYou can send checks, etc to\n\nMarc N. Williams\n\nPO Box 6362\n\nAsh
 eville, NC 28816\n\n\n\ni will also have a paypal account set up on th
 e website.\n\n\n\nUltimately i and several collaborators would like th
 e site to be a resource for any and all things related to people and t
 heir interactions with plants. My main focus is related to the tempera
 te world and Appalachia specifically. However we have a team of people
  also representing such diverse places as Florida, California, Costa R
 ica and Peru. The goal is to meld a rigorous backbone of cited and res
 earched data with an interface that allows various levels of anecdotal
  content from visitors to the website. This website will also serve as
  a repository for “typical” pictures of plants from a host of plan
 t families.\n\nMost of my in the field scheduled events are in July an
 d early August so far…After a very packed and intense spring of fiel
 d teaching i am taking a small break to focus on other endeavors for t
 he next few weeks including the website. However, i may be available f
 or land consultations or other special events.\n\nFor more information
