Spring Tree ID

with Jonathan Marchal

Thursday, May 15  |  9:30 am - 12:30 pm

BRN - Core | BREG - Elective

Join this class as we discuss how to use different characteristics and field guides to identify common trees of Western North Carolina. Spring this year will likely be a bit different than years past for the NC Arboretum and we will venture around the property to see what trees are leafing out and enjoying the renewal of spring! 

This program takes place fully outdoors. Please come prepared to walk on groomed trails and paths, and dress appropriately for the weather.
