Public Welcome Paid Event Program/Speaker Presentation Hands-On/How-To Workshop
This class will focus on identifying tree species based on forest ecology and taxonomy. In other words, we'll connect tree species to preferred site conditions, and differentiate closely-related (and distantly-related) lookalike species. We'll cover at least 45 species representing 30 genera and 20 families, however, the focus will be on learning ID skills rather than mastery of each tree.
We will alternate between the classroom and hiking on the property. The indoor portions will require a mask as we transition back to in-person events. Hiking shoes, water, snacks, notepads are recommended.
