Knowing Native Plants: Trees in Winter

Although trees are dormant this time of year, they exhibit many interesting botanical features to examine. Join Ed Lignowski, Ph.D., to learn how to identify native deciduous trees and shrubs when they have neither flowers nor leaves. Participants will learn to use a dichotomous keys based on characteristics of twigs, buds and bark; discover how trees are preparing for spring growth; and find out how flowing sap is used to make maple syrup.
