Every month, Ryan will focus on a particular characteristic of trees (such as leaves or bark) and use that character to understand more about the plant. This session will focus on conifers. Through coupled classroom and field sessions Ryan will help you increase your ability to describe that plant and connect to the natural world around you.
Hoyt Arboretum is the premier park in Portland to experience all that conifers offer and probably not very many birds. While we likely will get distracted by a few birds and non-conifer trees, we will focus on the breadth of conifers that can grow in the Portland area, and how to differentiate between them. Most conifers can be identified any time of year, so it is a good group to focus on in late winter/early spring while we wait for other trees to get easier to identify.
