Winter Tree Identification
Monday, November 18, 5:00 PM
Presenter: Jim Schwiebert
Leaves are one of the biggest clues for tree and shrub identification. So what do you do when there are no leaves? The winter season offers a special time to appreciate trees and shrubs in a totally different way. This program will point out unique bud and bark characteristics of many of our native trees and shrubs, making identification possible when there are no leaves to see! A PowerPoint presentation will be followed by a hands-on session looking at around 50+ twigs and branches from native trees and shrubs. Handouts, with some easy tips on winter tree and shrub ID, and a simple tree, bud, and bark key will be provided for participants to take home. Join us for some fun learning to identify our native trees and shrubs in winter!
This is an in-person presentation at the UW-Extension office in Altoona, but a Zoom option will be made available if the weather is bad.
