PITTSFIELD, Mass. On Saturday, March 19 at 10 a.m. Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) will lead a winter tree identification walk at Springside Park.

 

Winter is an excellent time for learning tree and shrub identification. The absence of leaves allows you to take a closer look at features that often get overlooked — such as buds, bark, and tree structure. Join BEAT for this leisurely 2-mile walk. Participants will focus on trees and the attributes that help identify them during the winter and year round. 

 

This slow-paced walk will begin at 10 a.m. and take a maximum of 2 hours. Anybody is welcome to join this walk, but the number of participants is limited. To join, email Chelsey at chelsey@thebeatnews.org.
