This walking workshop is a fan favorite! Each year, our Winter Twig ID class has been overflowing with people eager to learn new ways to enjoy our natural world. We invite you to join us and discover the appreciation and delight that learning this unusual skill brings to your winter outings!
Besides fostering a greater appreciation for the natural world during “stick season,” knowing what deciduous trees and shrubs look like in winter has many practical benefits! You can use these identification skills in all seasons, not just winter, so you can then rely on them to help you identify plants throughout the year. Since many plants are dormant in the winter, it is a great time to gather cuttings and some seeds for propagating plants, as well as to salvage and transplant.
Schedule: choose either a morning or afternoon session. You can expect to learn how to identify 20-25 plants in their winter twig form over the course of 2.5 to 3 hours and receive a “cheat sheet” with our top tips for identifying these species on your own.
