The Art & Science of Tree Identification
September 9, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Learn about Philadelphia’s tree species, learn how to identify them, and create a leaf print of one of your favorite tress!
Join arborist and urban forester Jehane Samaha to learn your trees! We will discuss common tree species in Philadelphia, practice using dichotomous keys to figure out mystery trees, and learn patterns across tree families. Each participant will have the opportunity to make a beautiful leaf print of one favorite tree. If desired, bring photos, leaves, and twigs of woody plants for the group to identify together.
This workshop will take place at Wyck (6026 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19144). We will gather in the education building next to the Walnut Lane entrance.
