REGISTER by March 26th

Learn to identify members of the maple, ash, birch, elm, willow and sycamore families – all species threatened by the Asian Longhorned Beetle—by their most distinguishable winter characteristics.  With the guidance of Ranger Jean Rogers, keys and photos, we’ll discover these species around the Reservation.  Bring a field notebook, binoculars and a camera if you have them.  Dress to be outside for the first half of the program!  Meets at Neville Place parking lot; stormy weather cancels.  Please register to be updated in the event of bad weather.  Contact: Ranger Jean Rogers at jrogers@cambridgema.gov.
