SUMMARY:Winter Tree ID
DESCRIPTION:$20 member / $35 nonmember (per person) Instructor: Lawson Taylor Ages 12 and up \n\n\n\nTrees don’t always have leaves – so how do we ID bare trunks and branches? Come learn how to identify trees based on some not-so-obvious characteristics like twig morphology and get into the real nitty-gritty of tree ID. We’ll learn in the classroom and on the trails so we can practice on real trees in the wild.  \n\n\n\nRegistration for this class is no longer available.  \n\n\n\nClass will be held rain or shine and will involve a short outdoor hike. Please dress for the weather.
