Grab your snowshoes or crampons and join UVLT for a winter tree identification walk at Lyme Hill Conservation Area! We’ll meet at the parking area on Route 10 before heading out together. Register here.
During the walk we will explore how to identify many trees of the northern hardwood forest by bark and bud. This will be the second walk in our current series about ash trees and their management, and we’ll point out black and white ash along the way. Once you have the skills to identify ash, you’ll be ready to help UVLT with our future “lingering ash” monitoring initiative if you wish!
To learn more about lingering ash and the importance of this project, visit the Ecological Research Institute’s Monitoring and Managing Ash program webpage. Next summer, we’ll partner with ERI offer a lingering ash monitoring training session—stay tuned for more!
