About this Event
Join Casey Trees and forester Sam Nelson for a tree-focused walk in Hyattsville’s Driskell Park on Saturday, October 26th!
Together, we’ll identify different trees and discuss their histories, relationships, and personalities. We’ll also discuss Right Tree, Right Place, a phrase foresters use when deciding where a tree should be planted to live its best life. Come become a Right Tree Person in the Right Place!
While it will be an easy-paced walk, please note there may be muddy or uneven surfaces. No prior tree ID experience or books will be needed.
