Learn how to see trees naked (without leaves) by looking at bark, bud, and twig characteristics and you will be able to identify trees any time of the year on your own!Pre-registration is required and space is limited. $5 fee. Registration deadline is midnight the day before the class begins (11:59pm on Sunday), or when class registration is full. Registered participants will receive Zoom link to the class on the day of the event. Email lance@goldenhillsrcd.org with any questions.
