We are very excited to bring back one of our most popular events – Tree Identification with Harold Bragg! This year, we will be offering multiple dates to give you the opportunity to expand your botany knowledge in all the beautiful seasons of New England, and learn how to distinguish different types of trees by their bark, leaves, color, and other identifiers depending on the season.
Hosted by, Harold Bragg from Tree Talk, he has been Alnoba’s advisor on all landscapes, forestry installations and management for over 35 years. You will walk our trails and learn how to study the unique features, texture, size, and color of each of the twelve native trees located in our mature forest.
We hope you will support us in our mission to spread awareness about the environment, and the importance of learning about nature. Knowing the physiology of trees that are on your land can be a useful guide management tool and help keep our trees thriving!
WINTER SESSION
A walk through the winter woods of Alnoba, with a discussion about the character and future of Alnoba’s trees. The walk will include a look at 12 of the native species of trees in the forest, and the ways to identify these species by their bark and habits.
