Learn 10...Trees at Poestenkill Community Forest

Becky Sibner | Forest Health Specialist, NYS Parks

Sunday, April 13th | 10 am – 1 pm

Join us in a beginner’s course to Learn 10 species of trees – without leaves! Anyone interested in learning about tree ID and general plant ID skills is encouraged to participate; no prior botanical training is necessary. Instruction will cover important characteristics to ID such as branch and leaf arrangement, bark, twigs, buds, flowers, growth habit, and habitat, leaving participants prepared to start identifying trees and other woody plants on their own.

The route is over moderate terrain. Participants should be prepared with sturdy shoes, water, and snacks. Bring a tree guide and hand lens if you have one.

If you have any questions about the trip before registering, please email poestenkill@nyflora.org.

All NYFA Learn 10 workshops are free and open to all.
