About this Event
This class will be focused on winter tree identification that looks at bark, leaf scars, buds and tree shape and habitat to help us learn to ID them. We’ll visit Witch Hazel, Willow and Walnut but so many more! While we ID them we’ll talk about edible and medicinal uses of these trees and when they would be harvested. We’ll conclude class with a harvest from White Pine to make oxymels for you to take home and include in your salad dressings and beverages.

* Snow date scheduled for April 5th
