Hitchcock Folk School | Winter Tree ID

January 9 | 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Hitchcock Nature Center

Have you ever walked through a winter forest and wondered what trees you were looking at? Without leaves it can often be difficult to differentiate between Oak, Ash, Elm, and Walnut. But luckily there are ways to tell. Join Naturalist Dustin Clayton for an illuminating walk in the woods, where we will discuss a variety of ways that we can recognize the differences in our local trees. By looking at buds, bark, leaf scars, growth pattern and more, we can begin not only to learn the trees of the forest, but also how to deepen our observation of the world around us.
