Can You Identify Trees By Their Leaves? What About Without Their Leaves?

Identifying Trees in Winter Can Be a Real Challenge.

Join Debbie Fluegel, Certified Arborist and Trees Forever Program Manager, for a “Winter Tree Identification Workshop” at Sugar Grove Nature Center in Funks Grove. Elizabeth Burns from the United States Department of Agriculture APHIS Program will also be here to share information on forestry health in Illinois.

This workshop is designed to give participants in-depth training and practice identifying trees by their bark and twigs. Class will begin indoors learning basic plant morphology, characteristics, and terminology and studying twig specimens in an interactive format. We will then move outdoors to explore Funks Grove and practice identifying trees by putting your new skills to work!

Registration Fee:  Includes a winter tree guide, other valuable resources, lunch & snacks. Discounts available for members

Class size is limited and advanced registration and pre-payment are required by January 5.
