Say farewell to fall and explore the evergreen species still sticking around!

It’s the last day of fall; all the leaves are gone… except evergreens! As we enter the coldest months of the year, learn to identify evergreen trees – it’s not just the five pine species of White Pines, but mountain plants such as rhododendrons and mountain laurel far outside their usual range.

By the end of this hike, you should know how to identify them all and identify the point where the Deep and Rocky Rivers meet. This will be a 3-mile hike that will end close to sunset. Flashlights and headlamps are suggested as the hike will end near dusk. This is a free event, but registration is required.

 

If registration is full, please fill out the waitlist form here by December 18th.
