Take a closer look at buds, bark, and branches… Learn to identify trees and shrubs during the wintertime with Cheri Brunault.
When: Saturday, March 13 at 1:00pm
Where: Morse Pond Preserve, Georgetown
You’re invited to a small-group, socially-distanced walk to learn how to identify trees in winter. Led by Cheri Brunault, Stewardship Consultant, participants will uncover clues to name the trees of the forest, even if they are not wearing their distinctive foliage. This program is great for budding naturalists or landowners looking to strengthen their knowledge of local tree species, as well as anyone looking for a thoughtful walk in the woods.
Brunault will share how to identify a variety of tree and shrub species that grow in Morse Pond Preserve using twig and branch structure, bud shape and arrangement, as well as the characteristics of bark.
Morse Pond Preserve, just north of Reid State Park in Georgetown, offers a diversity of tree and shrub species to explore. Participants should expect to trek up to 1.5 miles through the quiet woodlands crossing gentle rolling ridgelines.
