Western North Carolina’s lush mountain forests are home to dozens of species of trees and woody shrubs. In this online class, participants will learn how to identify many of the region's tree species based on habitats, individual characteristics, including leaves, and uses both by humans and wildlife. Participants are encouraged to sign up for the Summer Native Tree ID Field Experience for practical application.
This class counts as a core requirement for the BRN Certificate of Merit when taken with a two-hour field experience.
