Have you ever wondered about the type of trees growing in your backyard, along a trail, or in your favorite forest? This will be an encore presentation by Dr. Gillian Newberry, professor emeritus from University of South Carolina Upstate, who will provide unique gimmicks to help you identify some of the more common tree species growing in our area. Dr. Newberry presented on this topic in May and has offered to return to help you test your knowledge and teach more skills in the field!

No program can hope to identify all of the tree species found in our area, but this program will lay a good foundation.

After the presentation, participants are invited to join Gillian for a walk around the preserve to test their knowledge and solidify what they learned during the presentation. Dress appropriately and bring a snack and water if you plan to talk a walk.
