Tree Identification

Intimately getting to know our neighbors in the natural world, be they plants, animals, rocks, rivers, trees, wind directions, weather patterns, etc., is an invaluable, universal, ancient tenet of humanity. Uncivilized humans throughout time have depended on their intimate relationships with the other living and nonliving members of the community of life to thrive. Tree identification, then, is a key human skill and intrinsic to the rewilders' path.

Tree identification is tougher in the winter, when most trees have lost their leaves! We can learn to employ simple techniques to effectively identify most trees by their location, bark appearance and growth patterns.
