SUMMARY:Of Twigs and Trees
DESCRIPTION:This event has sold out. We hope you will watch our website for other upcoming programs that interest you!\nMarch is the perfect time to learn how to identify trees by bark and bud. By learning a few simple shapes and textures we’ll have you recognizing leafless trees as if they were old friends. We will go for a walk on flat trails around the Atkinson Arboretum and Harrison Loop to meet the trees. Please come dressed for the weather. Pre-registration is required and due to limited capacities associated with the pandemic\, walk-ins cannot be accommodated. This program is designed for attendees that may have a “budding” interest in plant and tree identification and is recommended for ages 13 and up. Cost is $6 members; $9 public. \nAt Baltimore Woods Nature Center\, the health and safety of our staff and visitors is of utmost importance. All in-person programming will follow best practices for keeping our participants safe\, including physical distancing and wearing facial coverings.
