Focusing on their twig, bud, needle, and bark characteristics, Mark Raishart of VT Fish & Wildlife and Lisa Sausville of VT Coverts will share common native and non-native tree species and recommend resources that participants can use to ID trees on their own. The walk will be around 1 mile on uneven and sloping terrain.
