Saturday, September 8, 10-11:30 a.m. – Recognizing Trees

Mark Mikolas leads this walk to observe some of the characteristics of trees that make them easily recognizable, using the techniques explained in his book, A Beginner's Guide to Recognizing Trees of the Northeast.

Directions: West River Trailhead near the Marina Restaurant in Brattleboro. Turn off Putney Road into the rear restaurant parking lot. At the river, take a right onto the dirt road that runs along the river. In approximately ½ mile there will be a cornfield and a big clearing on the right with an industrial building on it. We'll park and gather there. It is an easy level walk also appropriate for kids, under the beautiful new I-91 bridge. Please, leave your dogs at home.
