Western North Carolina’s lush mountain forests are home to dozens of species of trees. In this online class, students will learn how to identify many of the area’s tree species based on their habitat preferences, individual characteristics, including leaves, and their uses both by humans and wildlife.
Participants are encouraged to sign up for the Summer Native Tree ID Field Experiences for further reinforcement of the lecture material.
