Many of us can identify common trees by their leaves, but what about when the leaves fall off for the winter?

On this WCLT walk, learn what other clues you can look for to tell our native trees apart, such as the tree’s shape, the color and texture of the bark, and the appearance of the buds that are forming for next spring.

A walk in the wintry woods becomes more interesting when you can recognize the trees you see around you!

Our walk leader will be Kyle Grendell, Westborough’s Tree Warden.

About 1-2 miles on uneven woodland terrain. Traction devices attached to boots are highly recommended.

The walk is free, open to the public, no reservation needed.

The location will be the Libbey-Wile Forest. Park at the end of Carroll Drive in Westborough, on one side of the street only.

Before leaving check WestboroughLandTrust.org for cancellations.
