Winter Tree Identification
Fresh Pond Ranger Jean Rogers introduced a bundled-up group of interested people to some of Fresh Pond's trees in their winter garb. Participants learned that trees in winter can be identified by their buds, bark, and any persistent fruit or leaves that can be found. The program ended at the Maynard Ecology Center in Neville Place, where Jean recommended several tree guides, and treated us all to hot cocoa and cookies.
