Come join local herbalist and arborist Alex Klein for a walk around the grounds to get to know our local trees in all their summertime glory. Compared to our other Tree ID walks, we'll focus a little more on leaf structure this time around. We will also assess how trees are responding to their environmental conditions and how this affects the way they appear and other irregularities in form. As always, we will talk about natural history, ecology and cultural uses of our astounding local tree species. Come with lots of questions and ideas about what you've been seeing in the canopy over the summer.
