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

Mark Mikolas leads this walk, sponsored by the Windham Regional Woodlands Association (WRWA), 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. There is no charge for the workshop, but non-members are encouraged to join WRWA.

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.
