Learn how to identify Sacramento trees — and see some, too
Hosted by the Sacramento Tree Foundation, “Tree Identification 101” explores the beauty of our urban forest while attaching names to these impressive plants.
Offered at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, this free webinar also points out the trees that thrive in Sacramento and which choices may be best for your own landscape.
“Join us via Zoom to learn basic principles of classifying and identifying Sacramento’s best trees,” says SacTree. “This brand-new class is for budding tree enthusiasts to learn the botanical basics of how to name and recognize various plant parts so you can learn to identify Sacramento’s trees. Knowing tree and leaf parts will allow you to key out tree species on your own and we’ll show you how!”
SacTree’s Pamela Sanchez, an ISA Certified Arborist and a specialist in urban forestry, will lead the webinar. “Pamela’s passion for connecting people with their urban canopy makes this workshop a must!” adds SacTree.
“Tree Identification 101” is open to everyone at all skill levels. Space is limited and advance registration is required to receive the webinar Zoom link. Sign up here: https://sactree.org/event/tree-identification-101-webinar/
Want to see (and ID) trees in person? This webinar pairs nicely with an upcoming walking tour, also hosted by SacTree.
“Autumn Tree Tour of Southside Park” will use this Sacramento park’s many mature trees to teach about identification and stewardship – just as the trees are displaying their fall color.
Set for 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, this 90-minute guided tour includes a bonus: a copy of “A Californian’s Guide to the Trees Among Us,” by Matt Ritter. Participants can use their knowledge from the online seminar as well as learn from the tour’s guide.
Tickets for the walking tour (including the book) are $25 and advance registration is required. Sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/autumn-tree-tour-and-book-registration-1038081599007
