Hi all,

I'm reaching out this morning to let you know that I'm teaching a free, one-night tree identification class at CVU's Access Program tomorrow (Tuesday, 9/19). Details below!

My article for this month details some simple ways to make your work in the woods more efficient and impactful. It's called called Five Techniques For Managing a Forest Efficiently.

Winter Tree Identification at CVU Access
Tuesday, September 18, 2023
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
CVU High School, Hinesburg, VT
Many people rely on leaves to identify a tree, but after the brilliant display of fall colors, "stick season" can make tree identification a daunting task. Join Chittenden County Forester Ethan Tapper for a one-night course in learning to identify Vermont's most common trees and shrubs by looking at their bark, buds, and other clues.
This course will use primarily outdoor instruction to teach participants to identify some of the most common trees in Vermont's forests.
This class will meet inside CVU to start and then move outside. Please dress appropriately for the weather, as the class will take place outside CVU and may involve walking over some muddy and uneven ground. This class will meet rain or shine.
