There is nothing like taking a walk through the woods and noticing all of the beautiful trees around you. It can be fun to guess what kind of trees are towering over you. A lot of us recognize trees by their leaves, but what do you do when it’s the middle of winter and the leaves have fallen to the ground? Take this workshop with Forester Dale Weigel and learn how to identify trees without their leaves.

There will be another class on February 9th, 2019. During this class you will be in the woods to put your new skills to the test.
Class is Sponsored by the White River RC&D Forestry Committee.
Its time to put what you learned in Thursday’s first Winter Tree ID Workshop to the test. Dale Weigel and other foresters will be walking you through the woods to take a look at a few trees up close. After this class, you should be confident that you can identify almost any tree without its leaves. If you were unable to be at the first workshop, don’t worry. You are still welcome to join in on this one! Refreshments will be included during the workshop.
