Viles Arboretum

Come and learn some basic tree ID skills with Augusta Area District Forester Jared Gregory!

This tree talk focuses on offering participants a basic skills toolbox to help them understand the features that define specific types of trees. Beyond that we will discuss why tree identification is an important skill for everyone. We will see examples of some of the species that are currently common in the Maine landscape and those that we can expect to see more of as winters get shorter and average temperature increases. 

This is designed to be an experience that is open and friendly to everyone! We will be walking across varied terrain for up to one mile so we advise planning accordingly. In the event of steady rain we will cancel/reschedule.
