Trees on the Trail

November 29, 2017 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Wednesday, November 29
11 a.m.  - 1 p.m.
2 mile easy hike

Please join us with local arborist Robert Judd for a fun Tree ID at Deer Pond Farm. After many of the leaves have fallen from the trees, you’ll get a whole new perspective of nature to enjoy. Seeing the forest through the trees is all about the big picture and connections in nature.  We’ll learn about how important trees are throughout the year to the birds, lots of wildlife and to us.

Dress for the weather. Rain cancels.
Bring binoculars, camera, a tree id book if you have it and a sense of adventure.

Free for members
$5 non-members
