Join this late-winter walk focused on identifying woody plants during the colder months, when many trees and shrubs have shed their leaves. Discover how to identify plants by their branching patterns, bark, buds, galls, and any persistent fruits that remain throughout the season. We’ll also look at winter weeds—hardy non-woody plants that stand up tall even through the colder months. Learn not only plant ID techniques but also fascinating natural history and folklore about the plants we see. This program is appropriate for ages 16 and older. Cost is $13 for non-members and $10 for members. Pre-registration is required by emailing suzanne@wellsnerr.org or calling (207) 646-1555 x116.
