Collapse ▲If you enjoy spending time outside during the winter and wonder what kinds of trees you are seeing, we have just the program for you. Master Gardeners Carrie Blair and Bob Mertens will lead a series of winter hikes in Brevard, area forests, and green spaces. Carrie and Bob will lead the hikes to help participants identify trees any time of the year using phenology, which is the study of periodic plant life events including leafing, flowering, fruiting, location, shape, bark, branch pattern, buds, leaf scars, seeds, and more.
You must sign up for each hike you would like to attend. Register with the links below for the hikes you would like to attend.
The introductory class will be held on Wednesday, February 5th at the Cooperative Extension Conference Room, 106 E. Morgan St. Brevard, NC. The Introductory Class is recommended for those interested in joining the hikes but is not required. Register Here for the Introductory Class
