Join Georges River Land Trust and the Maine Forest Service, July 25, at 4 p.m., for a tree-focused walk at Appleton Preserve. Woodland appreciators will leave this program with a knowledge of Maine’s native trees, practical tree identification skills, and insights into forest stewardship.

Maine Forest Service District Forester Allyssa Gregory will lead this program and provide tree identification. Participants will learn to identify tree species by looking at form, branching arrangement, buds, bark, and present foliage.

Participants should wear comfortable closed-toed shoes, and bring drinking water and insect repellent of choice.

This program is free and open to all ages. Please visit georgesriver.org/events to register.
