Tree and Shrub ID in Winter

Leaves are one of the biggest clues for tree and shrub identification. So what do you do when there are no leaves? Winter offers a special time to appreciate trees and shrubs in a totally different way. This program points out unique bud and bark characteristics of many of our native trees and shrubs, making identification possible even in winter! A PowerPoint presentation and hands-on session inside will be followed by an outdoor hike around the Reserve to apply what we learned. Some easy tips and a simple winter tree and bark key will be provided for participants to take home. Bring warm clothes and boots for the outdoor portion of the program. *If you can't make it for this session, there's another session being offerred on February 26, 2014 at 9:00 - 12:00 pm *Registration and full payment required by Feb. 19, 2014
