Many trees in Western North Carolina combine to create the spectacular foliage color show during the autumn months. This field experience set in the Arboretum forest covers the biology of what causes seasonal color change and the basics of identifying trees by their leaves, bark, fruit and other characteristics.

He also was on the staff of the western North Carolina Nature Center in Asheville for over 25 years as the Curator of Exhibits. Carlton co-hosts a weekly radio program NATURE NEWS and is also a NC state and federally licensed wildlife rehabilitator.
