Bundle up and enjoy the stark winter beauty of the forest at Kawartha Conservation’s Ken Reid Conservation Area while learning to identify trees without leaves. From buds, bark, shape, and other clues, we will explore the many distinctions present in the sleeping forest to help identify different kinds of trees. A simple identification key will be provided to all participants for use during the hike and can be taken home where you can continue to practice your new skills! Bring binoculars, if you have them, and dress warmly for the weather to join us for a leisurely hike among the trees.
