BIO Students Assist with Tree Tagging

BIO 110 Principles of Biology students are studying the characteristics of various types of plants including angiosperms, gymnosperms, seedless vascular and bryophytes. As part of their real-world application of topics learned in lab exercises, the students accompanied NCC Master Gardener Ken White as he tagged trees on NCC’s LiveWell and Learn trail.

This course provides a survey of fundamental biological principles with emphasis placed on basic chemistry, cell biology, genetics, ecology, biodiversity, and more. Students learned North Carolina History, while examining native, non-native, and invasive plants during their time on the trail.

The tagged trees will have a QR code for students and community members to scan and learn about the trees.
