This field-based class entails a guided tree walk on UGA North Campus to identify and learn uses of several native tree species. From this class, participants will learn easy techniques for tree identification, including examining leaves, bark, buds, flowers, and other features. Participants can then apply these skills to learn 15 native Piedmont tree species found on campus, including evergreen and deciduous species. The speaker will also mention other uses of the species visited, including whether or not a species is edible or has craft uses. The walk will begin at the UGA Arches, rain or shine, but will be cancelled in the event of severe weather.
