MNPS Field Trip: Winter Tree Id (Saturday)

Ages 16 years through adult

Leader: Karyn Molines

For adults, although teens 16 years and older may attend.

All trees do not look alike in winter! We'll learn the basics of plant identification using winter keys and field guides, then take a hike to use our knowledge (so make sure you bring outdoor weather clothes). This program is designed for those with little or no experience and will focus on twigs, buds, and bark. Geared for adults, but teens 16 or older may attend.

Wear warm clothes for standing around outside (we won't be moving very fast). Bring a snack or lunch if you think you'll get hungry. (Optional, but useful) a 10x hand lens, binoculars, field guides (we'll have some to lend out).

Location: Kings Landing Park, 3255 Kings Landing Road, Huntingtown, MD directions to be provided to those who register)

This is a free program.
