Description: Have you ever wondered what that tree is growing in your backyard? Or next door? Or at the Arboretum? In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to use leaves and field guides to identify 30 tree species native or naturalized to the Houston area. After the first hour of learning the various parts of a leaf and their positional relationships, you will confirm the identity of 18 labeled specimens in the classroom using two novice-friendly field guides. The third hour will be spent on our trails using your new skills to correctly identify 12 additional non-labeled trees.
