Plant Walk: Winter Tree Identification (WITH LOCAL EXPERT)

OVERVIEW

Come join Center For Urban Habitats’ Senior Field Technician and botany extraordinaire, Drew Chaney, for the latest Winter Plant Walk series event. This weekly event will explore natural history in the winter landscape. We will visit multiple types of forest and woodland ecosystems and learn how to identify the trees and shrubs that occur in them using bark, buds, twigs, and other clues.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of Virginia’s top botanists in the field. No question will go unanswered!

side note: Drew was one of my best childhood friends and I learned a TON about tree ID from him in my youth. This is gonna be a sick learning experience and hopefully we can pass on his knowledge to the rest of the club.
