Tree Walk 

Sunday, May 31, 1pm- 3pm 

with Alex Klein 

Now that the trees have fully leafed out, there's no mistaking who's who, or at least it might seem that way... Join local herbalist and arborist, Alex Klein, for a walk through the trees, getting to know the species by not just their leaves, but by their bark and branching patterns, habitat and form. We'll go over some identification techniques to parse out different genera and species and discuss the different forest types and levels of ecological succession where we'd expect to find different groupings of trees. Trees are foundational to the life of the forest and the growth of humanity, so we'll carve out some time to think about the roles our woody friends are playing in the environment and how they have contributed to human history as well. Sliding scale  $25, $32 or $40.
