Deciduous trees in winter present many of us with questions.
Join Maine Master Naturalist Susan Cottle for a walk and talk in the woods exploring deciduous trees for the answers.
Learn how you can tell one leafless tree from another and why some deciduous trees hang onto their dead leaves until spring.
Find out what’s happening inside these apparently sleeping trees and how they wake up come spring to bud out and grow new leaves. Explore how deciduous trees differ in more ways than leaves and needles from conifer trees. Gaze up into the forest canopy to identify deciduous trees by the shapes of their crowns, then get up close and personal with bark identification. Come walk the winter woods exploring the role of deciduous trees—year round—in the forested landscape.
This is a great Naturalist Workshop to join in combination with the one on December 6 when we’ll focus on evergreen trees!
