Outdoor & Unplugged: Winter Tree Identification Walk

24 Cottage Road,Kensington NH 03833

09 March, 2023

Description

Identifying trees in the winter can be a bit tricky, but with a few tips and tricks, you can expand your botany knowledge and learn how to distinguish different types of trees without leaves or color to reference. The theme of the walk is “Tree Talk” hosted by Harold Bragg, Alnoba's advisor on all landscapes, forestry installations and management for over 35 years. You will learn how to study the unique features, texture, and color of tree bark that can help us identify what type of tree we are looking at in the winter. Twelve of the native trees located in Alnoba’s mature forest will be examined on the walk. Knowing the physiology of trees that are on your land can be a useful guide management tool and a fun topic for your next gathering with friends.
