Throughout winter, BEAT’s programs director, Chelsey Simmons, will be leading two tree walks each month in collaboration with TOURISTS. These walks will take place on a Wednesday and Sunday, begin at noon, and are free with the option to donate to BEAT.

Learn how to identify trees throughout all the seasons with a local naturalist and tree enthusiast! It may be surprising, but winter is an excellent time for learning tree and shrub identification. The absence of leaves allows one to take a closer look at distinctive features that often get overlooked — like buds, bark, and tree structure. This walk will be stop-and-go and outside the entire time, so please dress for the weather!

Space is limited. Registration is required. Click here to reserve your spot.
