Step Outdoors Winter Tree Identification

Saturday March 4 – Winter Tree Identification
10AM – 12PM – Sinnemahoning State Park – Park Office & Wildlife Center
What trees are growing in your woods? Learn to distinguish common local trees in winter by observing bark, twigs, cones, and other features while learning interesting facts about our native forests. Slow-paced, 1-mile walk over mostly level terrain. Binoculars and field guides available for use during the program. Program will begin indoors with an overview of tree identification, followed by a slow paced, 1-2 mile hike over uneven terrain to practice identifying live trees in the park.
