Cornell Cooperative Extension will hold two one-hour Forest Connect Look Beyond the Leaves Tree Identification webinars on February 20th at noon and 7 p.m.
Can you identify trees in the winter when their leaves are gone? Many of us are familiar with certain tree leaves, but leaves are helpful in identifying trees only when they are accessible.
These webinars, presented by West Virginia Extension forester David McGill, will highlight attributes that woody plants have that can be used with diagnostic keys and samples or in the field to distinguish one species from another.
The webinar will cover what might be considered comparable to the first lecture a classroom full of forestry students might get in their course on dendrology (the study of trees).
