Outdoors

Our evergreen trees don’t change too much during the winter time, but our favorite deciduous trees make a fairly dramatic transformation. Join arborist Casey Clapp of the podcast Completely Arbortrary on an education walk through Hoyt Arboretum focused on how to identify trees using only the clues left behind after their leaves fall away. This course will meander through the arboretum and show you how to identify common trees in our area, and provide a framework for what to look for when trying to identify an unknown tree without using the leaves.
