Learn 10...Trees at High Peaks

Dan Spada, President of the New York Flora Association

Saturday, June 29th | 1 pm – 4:30 pm

The NY Flora Association and Adirondack Land Trust are collaborating to present a botanical training program pioneered by the NYFA. Join botanist Dan Spada for this program designed to help anyone of any level of expertise who is interested in plant identification to identify tree species in a relaxed and supportive way. We will spend our time acquiring the tools necessary to correctly identify trees primarily during the growing season. We will focus on common Adirondack species.

Participants can expect to slowly cover a couple miles at the most. The terrain is mostly level but includes some slopes. Be prepared with hiking footwear, rain gear, snacks and adequate water. Assume there are ticks and biting insects so be prepared to repel them. A handlens would be useful.

We will meet at 1pm at a parking area on Adirondack Loj Road. Participants will receive explicit directions before the workshop.

If you have any questions about the trip before registering, please email L10highpeaks@nyflora.org.

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