About Woody Plant Identification Walk

Join us for a guided hike where you’ll learn the art of identifying native trees and woody shrubs by observing bark, buds, and branching patterns. During this easy-to-moderate walk, you’ll traverse a variety of habitats—and discover how the region’s geological past, former farming practices, and ongoing ecological processes intertwine to shape the forest’s character. Come deepen your understanding of forest ecology, connect with local history, and hone your botanical skills in a truly remarkable setting.

Pre-registration required as space is limited. In the event of rain, this event will be cancelled and moved to August 24th.

After your walk, come join us at our neighboring property, The Ashley House, in celebration of Elizabeth Freeman day!
