Beginner’s Tree Ecology and ID

Join us as we learn how to identify trees, discover their astounding ecosystem functions, and share other fascinating and little-known facts—like why sycamores shed their bark and whether trees are communicating in the soil under our feet!

Please dress for the weather. Participants should be prepared to walk for the duration of the class on paved and unpaved trails for about 2 miles.

Meet in front of the Farm Barn Orientation Center for check-in. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the start of class. We cannot accommodate late arrivals and the class will depart on time.
