Steve Roberge, Forest Resource Specialist with Cheshire County Extension, will lead the workshop and will be discussing the key things to look for when attempting to identify woody plants in winter – things such as overall form, bark, twig features, leaf scars, and fruit remnants.

It will begin with a short indoor presentation, then the workshop will move outdoors. Please bring footwear suitable for varying snow and/or ice conditions.
