A poster about tree identification hike.

Dendrology: noun: den·drol·o·gy: /denˈdräləjē/: The study of trees.

Walking through the woods, we are surrounded by trees. Ever wonder what they are? Join Hiking Hound Adventures, LLC as we break down the steps to identifying trees. With us you will learn the basics to tree identification like the parts of a tree, how trees grow, and important terminology. Simple vs. compound leaves, leaf scars, bark patterns, growth patters, fruit, and more! We will learn several of the species that play important roles in Pennsylvania’s forests like maples, oaks, beeches, and poplars to name a few.  Forests are complex, living ecosystems and understanding them is a fascinating way to enjoy the outdoors.

Your instructor, Andy, has a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Kentucky and has a great understanding of trees and forest dynamics. He is ready to share his love of the woods with you!

 

*Recommended ages 12+. Participants under the age of 18 must register and be accompanied by a registered adult.
