Herbaceous plants of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve

This list of common herbaceous plants of Preserve woodlands is the first of several plant lists that will eventually be posted on this page. We already have much more information about herbaceous plants of Preserve wetlands and prairies to organize and post, plus lists of additional uncommon herbaceous plants of Preserve woodlands.

So please do not report additional species at this time. Save your lists - then check them against the additional plant lists we plan to post in the near future.
