Sat. February 27 - Winter Tree-Identification Trip - Yankauer

LEARN HOW TO IDENTIFY TREES IN WINTER

The Potomac Valley Audubon Society will offer a winter tree-
identification field trip at its Yankauer Nature Preserve in Berkeley
County the morning of Saturday, February 27.

There is no fee, and anyone with an interest is invited to attend.

West Virginia state forester Ben Kunze will lead the trip. He will
show how to identify trees through such clues as their branching
habits and overall shape, twigs and buds, and bark.

Participants will meet at the preserve parking lot at 10:00 a.m. The
total time of the trip will be about two hours.

If there has been a major snow the day before or weather is especially
inclement that day, call 304-676-3397 to make sure the trip is still on.

Those who participate should be sure to dress warmly and wear sturdy
footwear.

The preserve is located on Whiting's Neck about seven miles north of
Shepherdstown. Detailed directions can be found on the PVAS website at
