Courses
Courses that are led by Arthur Haines are primarily offered through the New England Wild Flower Society, who operate in conjunction with the Delta Institute of Natural History and Maine Audubon (among many other organizations). Botanical courses can be placed into one of three difficulty categories, based on the level of material that will be presented and discussed during lectures and class outings. Please read the descriptions of each category to find the course that is appropriate for you. This page allows both current and potential students to preview upcoming courses, trips and presentations, as well as download available curricula, handouts, and PowerPoint presentations.
