Winter Tree ID Hike @ Lydick Bog

You might be able to tell an oak leaf from a maple, but how do you identify a tree without its leaves? Without leaves, you might think all trees look the same. With a bit of knowledge, you can learn how to spot a black oak from a silver maple just by looking at their buds, bark, and branching.

Join our Staff Ecologist, Doug Botka, for a hike to learn the basics of tree identification and how to apply these skills in the middle of winter—and any time of year! We will meet at the Lydick Bog Pavilion.

Please RSVP through the website to reserve your spot, as space is limited. Before attending, please watch this recording—it is crucial to understanding terminology and enhancing what you’ll be learning in person.
