This rare remnant of old-growth forest tucked into Cobbs Hill Park is one of our area's greatest ecological treasures. Students will leave this class able to both identify our local forests’ major native tree species from leaves and bark, and to interpret the silent ecological stories told in trees, wherever their next hike takes them.
Please note: This field trip will entail walking about three-quarters of a mile on an earth trail that is moderately inclined and potentially muddy in a few areas, and you should expect to be on your feet for the duration of the class – please choose your footwear accordingly. You are also encouraged to bring your own personal water bottle to stay hydrated. If you experience seasonal or general environment allergies, please consider preventative preparation ahead of class time. At the conclusion of class, the student and instructor will walk together back to the meeting place where class begins.
