    Although at this time of the year trees are dormant, they still exhibit many interesting botanical features to examine. Join Ed Lignowski, PhD, Preserve Volunteer Naturalist and former botany/plant physiology college instructor, to learn how to identify native deciduous trees and shrubs when they have neither flowers nor leaves. Participants will learn to use a dichotomous key based on characteristics of twigs, buds and bark, discover how trees are preparing for spring growth, and find out how flowing sap is used to make maple syrup. Presentation/discussion followed by an outdoor tour.
