Winter Buds & Bark Tree ID

About this event

Winter Buds & Bark Tree ID with Lauren Lampley Friday, December 11 | 1 – 4pm BRN – Core | BREG – Elective Register Here! Ever wondered how you can identify a tree without its leaves? All tree species have different patterns of bark and leaf/flower buds that can be used to identify them even in winter time. In this program, we will look closely at the common trees around the NC Arboretum trails and point out specific characteristics of their buds and bark so you can identify them even without their leaves. This program will take place outside and will follow easy trails and paved walkways. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time. Lauren Lampley began her career at Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation as a Park Naturalist which solidified Lauren’s interests in ecology and a passion for teaching others. She has led walks and hikes in a variety of subjects from Geology to Birding and especially enjoys learning and teaching about our local ecology. She currently works at the NC Arboretum as the Adult Education Coordinator managing all the programming hosted through the Adult Education Department. ● Pre-registration is required for all classes unless otherwise detailed above. ● Members: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
