Join Georges River Land Trust and Maine Forest Service for an exploration of Appleton Preserve. Maine Forest Service District Forester Allyssa Gregory will lead tree identification on this guided hike. Participants will learn to identify tree species by looking at form, branching arrangement, buds, bark, and present foliage. Woodland appreciators should leave with a knowledge of Maine's native trees, practical tree identification skills, and insights into forest stewardship. Wear comfortable closed-toed shoes and bring your insect repellent of choice. Join us for a guided tree identification walk!
