Title: Tree Talk Tuesdays: Ash and Basswood
Location: Online
Event URL: https://vlt.org/events/tree-talk-tuesdays-ash-and-basswood/
Event Description:
Dip your toes into tree identification and learn how climate change is likely to affect some of your favorite hardwoods and softwoods. Join the Vermont Land Trust's forestry team for lively 30-minute presentations that will help you identify various species, inform you on the climate futures of those trees, and give you ways to manage them to promote and protect the special values they bring to Vermont's forests.

The third in our 4-part series will use photos to help you distinguish between ash and basswood and their look-alikes. Often found growing together on calcium-rich sites, we'll look at what the future may hold for these two species and the other trees they commonly grow with as our climate continues to shift.
