When we think of flowers in the spring, our attention often is turned towards the numerous showy flowers found on herbaceous plants on the forest floor. If we look upwards however, we would notice the many species of mountain trees that also begin blooming at this time of the year as well. Learn about identifying trees by their flowers, buds and bark, and investigate tree structures and pollination strategies. Participants are encouraged to sign up for one of the Spring Native Tree ID Field Experiences for practical application.
