Hyattsville Tree Walk: Driskell Park - Right Tree, Right Place

Join Casey Trees and forester Sam Nelson for a tree-focused walk in Hyattsville’s Driskell Park on Saturday, October 26th!

Together, we’ll identify different trees and discuss their histories, relationships, and personalities. We’ll also discuss Right Tree, Right Place, a phrase foresters use when deciding where a tree should be planted to live its best life. Come become a Right Tree Person in the Right Place!

While it will be an easy-paced walk, please note there may be muddy or uneven surfaces. No prior tree ID experience or books will be needed.

Who should attend?

This event gives preference to Hyattsville residents; however, it is also open to the general public. For more information on joining us for more follow the link: Environmental Education | Hyattsville, MD - Official Website
