Do you know how to tell trees apart during winter? Join BEAT for a free winter tree identification walk at Pittsfield’s Springside Park and Hebert Arboretum.
While identifying trees without leaves may seem daunting, winter is actually an excellent time to learn. Without foliage, flowers, or fruit, participants will discover how to recognize trees and shrubs year-round by closely examining often-overlooked features such as buds, twigs, bark, and overall tree structure. Guided by BEAT naturalist and tree enthusiast Chelsey Simmons, this walk will focus on common trees found in the New England landscape.
The walk will be stop-and-go and will take place entirely outdoors. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress in layers. No prior experience or knowledge is required, and all are welcome; however, participation is limited to 10 people.
RSVP is required to reserve your spot and receive meeting location details. Email [email protected] to register.
DATE: Saturday, February 14 (Rain Date: Sunday, February 15)
TIME: 10:00 AM to Noon
LOCATION: Springside Park, 874 North St, Pittsfield, MA 01201
This walk is part of the 10×10 Upstreet Arts Festival, a winter arts festival located in Pittsfield’s Upstreet Cultural District in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, organized by the City of Pittsfield and Barrington Stage Company.
