Identification of trees and shrubs is an important skill in managing your land or learning more about the natural world around you.
UNH Extension will hold an Identifying Common Trees and Upland Invasive Plants webinar on April 9th from Noon to 1:30 pm.
During this program participants will learn some essential tools used in identifying different woody plants, and how to apply these skills to common trees and upland invasive plants that occur throughout New Hampshire.
This session will cover tips and clues for identifying woody plants in all seasons, not just when leaves are out. In addition to foliage, we will discuss clues such as overall plant shape, branching patterns, buds, bark, smell, taste, cones, fruits, and habitat.
This session will spend about two-thirds of the time on native tree identification and one-third of the time on upland invasive tree and shrub identification.
