The various species of oak trees are among our most beautiful and stately native tree species. They can also be difficult to distinguish from each other. In this online class, Carlton Burke will share helpful tips to identify many of our mountain oak species and learn more about the uses both by humans and wildlife of these valuable trees.

Carlton Burke is a naturalist and educator who operates Carolina Mountain Naturalists, an educational service which offers wildlife and nature educational programs throughout western North Carolina. He also was on the staff of the western North Carolina Nature Center in Asheville for over 25 years as the Curator of Exhibits.
