Trees take on a whole new dimension in winter with the usual methods of identification less obvious. Bundle up to join Naturalist Carlton Burke in this field experience in the Arboretum forest and gather tips and techniques for identifying trees in the winter months based on silhouette, bark, buds, leaf scars, twigs and other distinguishing characteristics.
This class counts as a core requirement for the BRN Certificate of Merit when taken with the two-hour online lecture.
