The winter twigs listed below are arranged alphabetically by scientific name (though both the common names and scientific names are provided). This is just a small sampling of the plants that you can see on campus (both in the Teaching Gardens, and in the College’s forested areas).

These pages were created collaboratively as a part of the academic work in the Citizen Science: Ecoliteracy learning community. They are the tangible result of the work of the following students at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington: Harrison Basch, Sarah Coutts, Melissa Crowe, Zachary Fleig, Zachary Halpern, Stephanie Lewis, Kate McSorley, Emily Monahan, Nikolai Starzak, Saff Smith, Katie Temple, and Isabel Watts.

Special Thanks are due to: Erica Guttman for permission to excerpt and adapt text from her booklet entitled Winter in the Woods published by the Native Plant Salvage Project in Olympia, Washington. Thanks to information technology expert Amy Greene for teaching the students the software and techniques which were used to create these resources. Faculty member Frederica Bowcutt provided botanical mentoring. Thanks to botany student Joe Bettis who took most of the photographs. Peter Randlette taught the other credited photographers the digital photography and editing techniques used to produce these pages. Lisa Hintz contributed valuable editorial input.
