Let’s take a slow walk through Bluestem’s woodland habitat and learn to identify Piedmont tree species!
On this tree ID walk we will use leaf arrangement and shapes, branching pattern, fruits, cones, bark and twigs. We’ll talk about common and scientific names and share a little natural history, too. Dress for the weather and uneven terrain. A water bottle, bug spray and sunscreen are also recommended. Depending on your goals for the class, you might want to bring a notebook and binoculars. Your hike leaders are Margot Lester, TLC trail guide and certified interpretive naturalist, and Geoffrey Neal, local arboretum curator and director of the Cullowhee Native Plant Conference. This event is free, but registration is required.
*If registration is full, please email Amaya Horner at [email protected] to be placed on the waitlist.
Current Mask Policy: TLC seeks to build a supportive, mask-friendly environment in all collaborations with staff and the public. Please wear a mask if you are not vaccinated, or if that makes you feel most comfortable. We will have masks available if you would like to wear one during an event. We also encourage those eligible to be vaccinated to get their Covid-19 vaccine and booster shot. If you are experiencing any Covid-related symptoms, please stay home and attend a program another day. Our top priority is to create a safe environment for our community. Thank you for your understanding.
