About the event

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 winter, when most trees have lost their leaves! Let's connect with each other, and the world, by getting outside on a wintry morning and learning to employ simple techniques to effectively identify most trees by their location, bark appearance, winter buds, and growth patterns. We'll learn how use a simple dichotomous key to categorize specimens. Winter Tree Identifcation booklets will be available for use during the class, and for purchase by students.
