Description

Learn how to identify trees , even in winter! Is it an oak or an ash? Without leaves, it may be hard to distinguish the species of a tree in winter. Enhance your winter forest forays and impress your friends with tree identification knowledge. Join Tim Fleury, UNH Extension, and Ann Davis, Tree Farmer, for a relaxed winter tree identification walk in Wilmot. Tim will focus on branching, buds, and bark while the leaves are off the tree. The trees encountered will be discussed from an ecological and economic perspective. Prepare for an outdoor experience and dress for winter weather and snow conditions. Snow shoes encouraged. Unless weather is extreme, this program will take place snow or shine. This program is free and made possible by the Wilmot Community Association (WCA). WCA asks that everyone stay safe and follow CDC social distancing and mask guidelines during this program. The WCA is a not-for-profit organization and offers free and low-cost events to the local community throughout the year. The association owns and operates two facilities in Wilmot – the Red Barn, a community center and Timmy Patten Park, a beach and playground.
