Learn how to confidently identify our 5 native birch trees: white, yellow, black, grey, and river birch. We will also cover a few non-birch species within the birch family, such as hornbeam and hop-hornbeam, as well as important species that frequently share the same habitat within the willow and holly families.

Please note: Meeting spot is across the street from the American Museum of Natural History at the bronze bust of Alexander Von Humboldt at CPW and West 77th Street. This entrance to the park is aptly called "Naturalists' Gate."
