"Bark: Get to Know Your Trees" is led by noted author and naturalist Michael Wojtech. This field workshop provides instruction in identifying trees by their bark alone. Frequently, leaves are off the tree or out of reach, yet we tend to rely on leaf shape to identify trees. With an understanding of bark ecology and structure, and an eye to various textures, shapes and colors, you will learn to recognize different tree species. This workshop is for experienced naturalists and novices alike. Please dress properly for weather conditions in the field.
Michael Wojtech is the author of Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast. He is a former editor of the journal Whole Terrain, and teaches, researches, and writes about trees. He lives in western Massachusetts.
