Name That Tree

Do you ever find yourself asking, What kind of tree is that? Whether you’re curious about the trees around you or want to better understand the species in your woodlands, this workshop will teach you how to identify trees using key characteristics. Join Ohio State Extension’s Jim Downs and ODNR, Division of Forestry’s Dave Apsley and Pat Migliozzi for this hands-on workshop on tree identification.

We will start inside with samples, laying the groundwork before going outside to improve your skills. A dichotomous key will be used as the reference for the day, but we will talk about other identification resources as well.

Class fee includes a light breakfast, lunch, and materials, including an OSU Tree ID Key guide.
