Winter Tree Identification

Winter Tree Identification Saturday, Jan.9, 9:30-11:30 a.m. Wise Nature Center Leaves are one of the biggest clues for tree identification - so what do you do when there are no leaves? Winter offers a special time to appreciate trees in a totally different way. This program will point out unique bud and bark characteristics of many of our native trees and a few shrubs making identification possible, even in winter! A power-point presentation and hands-on session inside the Nature Center will be followed by a hike around the Reserve to apply what we learned inside. Some easy tips and a simple winter tree and bark key will be provided for participants to take home. Be sure to dress appropriately for the outdoors.
