Tree Identification Primer
Catherine Chamberlain, Fellow of the Arnold Arboretum, and Wayne Daly, MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation at Trinity College Dublin
2 Sessions, Select One: Sunday, May 20, June 24 1:30–3:30pm
Trees and shrubs can be challenging to identify, but as the saying goes, “…you will love only what you understand…” (Baba Dioum). So why not expand the number of trees and shrubs you become aware of and can identify? In this session, Cat Chamberlain and Wayne Daly will lead you through the Arnold Arboretum to practice using dichotomous keys, plant presses, and other tools often used in field research. This casual journey through the landscape will allow you to familiarize yourself with and appreciate the flora that surrounds you. Dress for learning in the landscape and bring a magnifier lens if you have one.
Fee $10 member, $20 nonmember per session
