About This Event
Ready to turn compounding confusion into confident identification? While many trees in the Old Forest display simple leaves, a variety showcase compound leaves. Learning to tell them apart opens up a wider dimension of forest exploration.
The Overton Park Conservancy is hosting a Compound Leaves Tree Identification Course led by Certified Forester and ISA Certified Arborist Dr. Eric Bridges.
Through indoor instruction and outdoor field exploration in the historic Overton Park, you'll practice identifying compound leaf trees such as ashes, hickories, and other common species in West Tennessee's woodlands. You’ll also develop the skills to create your own keys. Beyond identification, you'll discover how these trees play crucial ecological roles and have shaped the cultural landscape of our region.
Turn confusion into confidence and enroll today!
This course is designed for participants who have already completed our Tree Identification and/or Oak Identification Course.
Registration includes lunch and the use of course materials.
Rain Date: Wednesday, May 13th

Overton Park Conservancy is the nonprofit organization that has been caring for Memphis’s central green space since 2012. With the generous support of our community, we work each day to make the park a beautiful and welcoming place for all Memphians, as well as a valuable source of urban habitat for wildlife.
The Conservancy must raise roughly 90% of our budget each year from people like you who care about the many things Overton Park has to offer. A gift of any amount helps us maintain and improve the park.
