Winter Identification and Management of Woody Species
Learn how to identify, manage and monitor trees and shrubs during the dormant season with Riveredge restoration ecologists. The first half of the morning will be spent indoors reviewing a large collection of freshly cut live specimens by fruit, bud, twig, branch, bark, and trunk. Following lunch we will take the course outside to review management and identify populations by setting and habitat.
Please dress for the weather and please bring a lunch.

Willow Identification and Management
Expand your restoration skillsets by getting past the Genus Salix to further your understanding of willow species identification, their habitat needs and importance for pollinators. Follow Zach Khron and Matt Smith into off trail areas of Riveredge’s uncommon habitats to find willow populations, identify species and discuss management. We will start our day in lab to review herbarium specimens and end it in the field.
Dress for all forecasted weather, bring your knee high boots and a lunch!
