Identifying the leaves of an elm

Learning to identify trees can be fun when we take a moment to really look and see what is before us. With pencil and paper in hand, take a look at some of the most notable features:

bark pattern and texture
leaf type and arrangement
canopy shape
branch growth and structure

Guided walks available. Inquire by email. No prior drawing experience required. all materials provided.

Reaching around an oak tree

"When living in times of stress, there is something very satisfying about standing in front of a tree that has been growing for more than a hundred years. To study it's leaves, the pattern of its bark and to learn a little more about it - this seems like a good thing to do"

Conservation begins in many places - public land, local parks, or even in our own backyard. Regardless where it takes place or how it plays out, it always depends on people having a connection to the land. It is my hope with the work I do, that I can help build this connection and shine a light on the value of our relationship to the natural world.
