When we think of flowers in the spring, our attention often is turned towards the numerous showy flowers found on herbaceous plants on the forest floor. If we look upwards however, we would notice the many species of mountain trees which also begin blooming at this time of the year as well. In this class, we will learn about identifying trees by their flowers, buds and bark, investigate tree structures and pollination strategies, and enjoy a walk to practice identification skills.
