Whether they enjoy botany as a professional or hobbyist, Beverly residents who enjoy learning about plants will soon be brushing up on their winter tree ID skills.
While it may be more difficult to identify trees in their winter dress than when they are in foliage, it is possible, and the walking workshop organized for an area venue will point the way. It's part of the Saturday Morning Strolls series, and will visit the trails at Choate Farm.
The facilitator will teach how to use a tree's bark, bud shape and position and other characteristics to determine its species. The attendees will also discover how a tree's branching pattern and overall shape can also be helpful clues. As they go along, the participants will find out why native plant species are so important to animals and humans alike, and they will also learn how they can make use of them. The session is being co-hosted by the North Shore Nature Program and the Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church.
An outdoor activity may spark an interest in environmental stewardship in those who take part. Organizers can order observation Journals paired with promotional Pens, data recording sheets, basic ID guides and other items to hand out to a group from area printing services companies.
This opportunity for Beverly residents to brush up on their winter tree ID skills is scheduled for February 7th. Everyone interested is asked to meet up at the Choate Farm Parking Lot in Danvers.
