STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) will lead a free tree identification walk on Sunday, Aug. 20, at 9:30 AM.

Participants will meet at the trailhead of Lower Bowker's Woods, a Laurel Hill Association property located near Stockbridge. The walk will last between 1.5 and 2 hours. Anybody is welcome to join, but the number of participants is limited.

Registration is required to join. Register at this link: https://tinyurl.com/August2023-BEAT-Tree-ID

Participants will learn key characteristics of common trees in western Massachusetts and get tips to help identify them by species. The 1-mile trail meanders along the Housatonic River and through a charming upland forest. The trail is typically considered an easy route, but it has uneven terrain in some areas with many roots; it also intersects railroad tracks. Some areas of the trail can be wet and muddy.

This walk is sponsored by Berkshire Environmental Action Team. BEAT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Pittsfield, MA. They work with the community to protect the environment for wildlife in support of the natural world that sustains us all.
