Know Your Trees
Are you curious about trees? Perhaps you want to identify them by species, or wonder why they grow with such a variety of bark textures, leaf shapes, winter bud characteristics, branching patterns, and other traits. Maybe you simply enjoy looking at them.
Get to Know Your Trees with Naturalist Michael Wojtech. Through his presentations, workshops, books, articles, photos, and illustrations, you will learn to notice the distinct characteristics of each species and discover the functional advantages they provide as trees grow, reproduce, and interact with their environment.
As you deepen your perceptions of trees, celebrate their beauty and enjoy the creative expressions that they inspire. You will become better connected with the landscape where you live. And with yourself.
